NBC News is defending its report that President Trump wanted a massive expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal after Defense Secretary James Mattis pushed back on those claims. NBC reported earlier Wednesday that Trump suggested dramatically expanding the country's nuclear capabilities — from roughly 4,000 to 32,000 warheads — after seeing data that showed the U.S. weapons stockpile decreasing from that level since the 1960s. Defense Secretary James Mattis in a statement hit back at the NBC report, saying Trump never "called for" an increase in the nuclear arsenal. "Recent reports that the President called for an increase in the U.S. nuclear arsenal are absolutely false. This kind of erroneous reporting is irresponsible,” Mattis said. Trump himself has attacked the network over the report on Twitter. “Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a ‘tenfold’ increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. NBC = CNN!” Trump tweeted.

. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in August reportedly broke a record with its fundraising haul. The committee brought in its largest fundraising haul for an off-year in August, NBC News reported. It raised $6.26 million during the month. For the same month in 2015, the committee brought in just $4.15 million. "With the House in play, another record-breaking month of fundraising for the DCCC is a clear sign that the grassroots energy behind House Democrats is constantly growing stronger," Tyler Law, a spokesman for the committee, told NBC News. "Given Speaker [Paul] Ryan's [(R-Wis.)] failure to govern with unified Republican control of Washington, it's understandable that vulnerable House Republicans are opting for retirement while we are recruiting incredible candidates deep into the map." The campaign committee has raised $72.46 million so far this year. As of July, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) had about $12 million more than the Democratic committee, according to NBC News.
