Trump ?revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies,? one official told the Washington Post.
In the meeting, Trump reportedly told Lavrov: ?I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day,? according to an official with knowledge of the exchange, before going into the details obtained through the capabilities of the key US ally.
While the president did not reveal to the Russians how the information was gathered, he did disclose specific elements of an unfolding plot and its threats and ? most alarmingly to US officials ? the city in IS territory where the information was picked up by the intelligence partner.
?If that partner learned we'd given this to Russia without their knowledge or asking first, that is a blow to that relationship,? a US official told the Washington Post.
?Everyone knows this stream is very sensitive, and the idea of sharing it at this level of granularity with the Russians is troubling,? said one US counterterrorism official who works closely with the Trump administration.
Trump?s disclosures caused senior White House officials to scramble to contain the damage, placing calls to both the CIA and the National Security Agency, according to the report
