While President Trump campaigned across the United States last week to help Republicans avoid heavy losses in November's midterm elections, two of his top political advisers were separately in the Balkans, assisting a pro-Russian government seeking to tighten its control over power. The report is drawing attention to the contrast between the administration's domestic push and its political activity in a strategically sensitive European region.

Why now: The juxtaposition of Trump's midterm campaigning with aides supporting a pro-Russian government abroad has raised fresh questions about his administration's foreign ties.
