President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscows interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.
The comments, which have not been previously reported, were part of a now-infamous meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State. He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the previous day had relieved great pressure on him.
A memorandum summarizing the meeting was limited to a few officials with the highest security clearances in an attempt to keep the presidents comments from being disclosed publicly, according to the former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
