The president also said that countries like Russia had been notified in advance of the raid but Democratic leaders in the Gang of Eight were reportedly not told even though it is customary.
Trump suggested that House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) were not told because of potential leaks.
We have notified some and others are being notified now as I speak, Trump told the press. We were going to notify them last night but we decided not to do that because Washington leaks like Ive never seen before. There is nothing there is no country in the world that leaks like we do.
He continued: And Washington is a leaking machine and I told my people, we will not notify them until the our great people are out. Not just in, but out.
The only people that knew were the few people I dealt with, Trump said.
