Refuse to share information about the Islamic State with the United States. And official telling the post that trump revealed more information to the Russian Ambassador than we have shared with our own allies. Nbc news has not confirmed the reports about the meeting. Roughly an hour ago National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster emerged from the white house to offer this denial. Theres nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American People. This story that came out tonight as reported is false.

times. we ll follow this as it develops. but this comes as new reporting from mother jones magazine shows that donald trump s long time money man and cfo, allen weisselberg already in the cross hairs of the criminal investigation also appears to be tied to a separate civil investigation in d.c. the magazine reports that previously unnoticed emails attached to a court filing last year show that weisselberg is involved in the trump inauguration case currently being investigated by the washington, d.c. attorney general. the crux of that investigation is whether trump s presidential inaugural committee and the trump organization coordinated to use inauguration funds to enrich the trump family by grossly overpaying for event space at its d.c. hotel. emails show weisselberg was called in to oversee the audit after the call for huge always of money raised and where it could have been spent.
