[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 2840969, member: 45230"] The Washington Post, citing anonymous current and former U.S. government officials, published a report Monday saying the president disclosed highly classified information to the Russians that jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State. The article alleged that Mr. Trump relayed information to the Russian diplomats that had been provided by a U.S. partner, and was considered so sensitive that details had been withheld from allies and restricted within the U.S. government. White House deputy national security adviser Dina Powell, who attended the meeting last week, said the story “is false.” “The president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced,” she said in a statement. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, who also participated in the meeting, said Mr. Trump and Mr. Lavrov “reviewed common threats from terrorist organizations to include threats to aviation.” “At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly,” Mr. McMaster said.
