How Trump Revived the Story About What He Told the Russians
The president’s assertion he didn’t reveal Israel as the source of intelligence he shared with Russia gives his critics ammunition.
President Trump said Monday he “never mentioned the word or the name Israel” in his conversation with Russian officials at the White House during which he is said to have revealed sensitive intelligence from an ally about ISIS.
His remarks in Israel with Prime the press pool from leaving the room in order to clarify the incident, are all but certain to revive the controversy Trump had left behind in Washington last week when he departed for his first foreign trip as president.
