Donald Trump Confirms Leaking Out Top U.S Secrets To Russia

President Donald Trump in reaction to allegations that he leaked classified information to Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov  and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at their meeting last week in the Oval Office. Sources  said Trump’s disclosures jeopardised 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. President Trump, on the other hand, thinks otherwise.

Mark Hertling, a national security, intelligence and terrorism analyst for CNN, said giving Russia information has not historically led to them being forthcoming with the United States.

“I’m concerned about the fact that the President feels like he has to give something to Russia first when there have been repeated instances of Russia being sanctioned in Ukraine, committing war crimes in Syria and conducting operations that are contrary to what we’d like to believe are freedom of operations and sovereignties of different nations,” he said Tuesday on CNN’s “New Day.” “This confuses me to no end.”
