Marine Le Pen Sighted in Trump Tower

WASHINGTON (AP) —

France’s National Front leader Marine Le Pen is visiting Trump Tower as part of a surprise visit to New York.

The French politician was spotted grabbing coffee with aides inside the president-elect’s eponymous skyscraper before being whisked upstairs in an elevator.
