Snippet:
There's a mix of stories across Tuesday's front pages. "Who was the White House hoaxer who duped PM?" asks the Daily Mail as it reports that Andy Burnham exchanged messages with a person posing as the chief of staff to US President Donald. The paper says an international hunt is under way for the hoaxer responsible for the security breach during which Burnham thought he was sending messages to Susie Wiles "before becoming suspicious the contact was illegitimate".
