McMaster: Trump Didn’t Do Anything ‘Inappropriate’ In Russian Conversation, No ‘Lapse In National Security’

After an evening of absolute confusion surrounding a Washington Post story alleging that President Trump spilled highly classified details surrounding an ISIS plot to Russia, thereby endangering intelligence sources, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster stepped to the podium to attempt to quell the controversy.

Last night, McMaster suggested that the Washington Post story was “false,” and said that Trump had not revealed any intelligence sources or methods — neither of which was alleged by the Washington Post. But McMaster was careful not to deny that Trump had revealed classified information to Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.
