White House: Donald Trump did not discuss intel with Russians
Unite State President Donald Trump discussed specific terror threats with
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Moscow’s envoy to the US in
the Oval Office last week, but not “sources or methods,” senior
officials said Monday.
The statements from
National Security Advisor HR McMaster and Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson came after The Washington Post reported that Trump had
revealed classified information to the Russians about a threat posed by
ISIS group.
“The president and the foreign
minister reviewed common threats from terrorist organizations to
include threats to aviation,” said McMaster, who participated in the
meeting.
“At no time were any intelligence
sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed
that were not already known publicly,” he added, in a statement provided
by the White House.
