    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.”

    I can see, you are preaching to your personal choir. God bless! Y'all, need to get a life, and realize that Trump, is as bumbling as he appears to be. But bumbling will not get hi out of office.

    It can and will should it be proven that he did disclose classified information.

    I'm not "excited". I am deeply concerned.

    The man saying it's false is NSAdvisor McMaster.

    He denied it "as reported". That leaves a lot of room to nitpick without denying the substance of the article.

    I'm not ready to call Trump amazing just yet. However, he looks like Winston Churchill compared to the alternative...

    LOL. Actually, substance would be a great place to start, don't you think ?

    What? Allegations from unnamed sources that ran in a publication that proudly served as the DNC's PR wing last year aren't substantive enough?

    This is just another attempt by the Trump haters to denigrate the President. Any President could declassify classified information on the spot - it is a non issue.

    Substance of the article in a nut-shell: did he do it or did he not?
