Trump on Saturday concluded his first foreign trip, stopping in Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Vatican, Italy and Belgium.

He returned to a handful of domestic controversies surrounding him and top administration officials.

His White House has been beset by the leaks to the media, and increased scrutiny over possible collusion between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The Washington Post on Friday reported that Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner sought to establish a backchannel line of communication between the president’s transition team and Moscow.

Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka, reportedly made the move during a meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Trump since his return to Washington has become increasingly more combative on Twitter, railing against leaks in his administration and "fake news."

"The Fake News Media works hard at disparaging & demeaning my use of social media because they don’t want America to hear the real story!” he said on Sunday.

“It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media,” Trump added in an earlier post.

“Whenever you see the words ‘sources say’ in the fake news media, and they don’t mention names…it is very possible that those sources don’t exist but are made up by fake news writers. #FakeNews is the enemy!”
