This morning the white house is in fullblown Crisis Management mode scrambling to respond to another explosive allegation, this time from the same paper that brought down richard nixon. The Washington Post is reporting President Trump revealed highly classified information to russias foreign minister and ambassador during their visit to the white house last week. The paper claiming mr. Trump gave the russians, quote, code word material relating to isis, even revealing a specific city within isis territory where a threat was detected according to current and former u. S. Officials. A spokesperson is denying the report while the Administration Says no intel sources or methods were revealed. The story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries including threats to civil aviation. At no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed, and the president did not disclose any military operations not publicly known. The information in question is believed to have stemmed from a u. S. Partner that had not given the u. S. Permission to share it, and its causing an uproar in washington with lawmakers, both democrat and republican, calling it appalling, disturbing, troubling, deeply concerning and part of a pattern of recklessness from the white house. For more, were joined by nbcs tracie potts. Tracie, the question many are asking this morning, did the president break any laws . Apparently not according to officials familiar with the law. The president can declassify information on his own. The issue is not did he break the law. If issue is was it a smart thing to do . Could it possibly lead to russia or some other country discovering the source of this intelligence . That seems to be the big concern here, and could it stop our own intelligence allies from passing along information if they know that information wont be kept confidential. Listen. The thing Intelligence Officers want to be able to do, they want to be able to go out and recruit human sources and tell them two things, one, were going to protect your life. Second, your information is going direct tloi the president s desk. Its that important. Tonight i dont think they can tell those sources that both are true. To give it to the president means that they might be jeopardizing that human sources life. Were already hearing from democrats and republicans on capitol hill that they need more of an explanation they got from h. R. Mcmaster, the National Security adviser last night in that russianed comment that he made after all of this broke. Well hear from him again today. Hes expected to be at the White House Briefing with sean spicer, so we will likely hear from him again today as the white house tries to focus on Foreign Policy this week. Here is yet another crisis to deal with. Sure to hear a lot more about this. Thank you tracie potts in washington. While focusing on Foreign Policy the west wing is embroiled in the latest controversies, the administration going full steam ahead in the search for an fbi director following last weeks ousting of james comey. Laurks want to know whats behind trumps tweet about secretly recorded conversations with comey. We have the latest from nbcs hallie jackson. Reporter the president focusing on finding a new fbi director, but the one he fired still casts a shadow with new questions about whether the president really recorded a dinner with james comey like he implied in a tweet or whether he records any private conversations. Why wont you just explain whether or not there are recordings . The president made it clear what his position is. Thats not my question. Why wont you explain it . Because thats what the president s position is. How is any senior official supposed to feel comfortable having a conversation with the president. As i said, the president made it clear what his position is. If President Trump is taping people in the white house without their knowledge who come to see him, thats a big deal. If there are no tapes, he should apologize to james comey and to the American People for misleading them. You cant be cute about tapes. If there are any tapes, they need to be turned over. I doubt if there are, u be we need to clear the air. Reporter why . Lawmakers want to know whether President Trump made any improper requests of comey. One day before their dinner, acting attorney general sally yates says mike flynn is susceptible to blackmail. Immediately after the president is briefed. At some point either that day or the next, comey is summoned to dinner, lastminute, according to a senior fbi official. In the hours before the meal, yates meets again with white house counsel. Comey declined an invitation to talk privately to congress. Instead he wants a public hearing, eager to step out of the shadows and stare his story. Thanks to nbcs hallie jackson.
