The White House is working to contain the damage caused by a magazine profile of one of President Barack Obama’s top aides. In a blog post published late Sunday, May 8, 2016, Rhodes said the public relations campaign he created to sell the Iran nuclear deal was intended only “to push out facts.” Rhodes says outside groups that participated “believed in the merits of the deal.” (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)
