Here's what we know about Trump reportedly disclosing classified info
President Trump reportedly disclosed highly classified information when he met with top Russian diplomats last week. Here's what we know now.
Who are the Russian diplomats?
Last week, Trump met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office. It attracted special attention since it was the only public event listed on Trump's schedule just one day after he fired his FBI director James Comey, who was running the agency's ongoing investigation into possible collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russians seeking to influence the American presidential election. While U.S. media was barred from taking photos of the meeting, the Russian-owned TASS news agency circulated photos of their meeting.
What did Trump tell them?
According to the Washington Post, Trump described highly classified details of an Islamic State threat related to using laptop computers on aircraft. He also reportedly revealed the city in the Islamic State's territory where the U.S. partner detected the threat, which could damage a critical source of intelligence on the terror group.
Has Trump answered?
In early morning tweets, the president said on Twitter that he has a right to share facts about terrorism.
