President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.

The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.

“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

The revelation comes as the president faces rising legal and political pressure on multiple Russia-related fronts. Last week, he fired FBI Director James B. Comey in the midst of a bureau investigation into possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow. Trump’s subsequent admission that his decision was driven by “this Russia thing” was seen by critics as attempted obstruction of justice.

Instead of your usual shit-post trolling, perhaps take a little closer look at this. I don't know if/what's true, but if the report is correct this is horrific.

Anonymous sources.

The media has fabricated stories in the past, I distrust them unless provided credible and verified information as well as sources.
 
"...according to current and former U.S. officials...," lol...
 
Do you guys seriously think they're just making this shit up?
 
McMaster said he was in the room and the story is wrong.
 
If we had a dog for president this would have never happened. Dogs don't like russians.
 
So in summary, this is Obama's, Americans and dogs fault. Trump is innocent.

His denial was a non-denial. And then refused to answer questions.

"The record should outweigh the anonymous sources. I was in the room. It didn't happen," McMaster added.

Deputy national security adviser for strategy Dina Powell also attended last week's meeting and pronounced the reports as false.

"This story is false," Powell said in a statement. "The president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced."

McMaster: "The story that came out tonight as reported is false."

Not through some twitter filter
