BULLETIN:  NORTH KOREA FREES THREE AMERICANS – AT 9:58 A.M. ET:  FROM CNBC:

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that three American prisoners released from North Korea were headed home, a sign of potential good will ahead of Trump's planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

In a tweet, Trump said "the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting" were accompanying Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on his way back from a visit to North Korea.

The president then tweeted that Pompeo and the three men would arrive at Andrews Air Force Base at 2 a.m., and that he would greet them.

COMMENT:  Brilliantly done by President Trump and our new secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.   Remember when the Dems complained that Pompeo was too tough and not committed enough to diplomacy?  This is Pompeo's answer.
