White House Investigating Email Prank Against Top Officials
The White House stands in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, April 9, 2013.

Washington (AP) -- The White House acknowledged Tuesday that top officials, including President Donald Trump's homeland security adviser, responded to a British-based email prankster.
Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the White House is investigating. "We take all cyber-related issues very seriously and are looking into these incidents further," she said in response to inquiries.
