we spoke this morning with david sanger of the new york times who said trump was significantly more interested in the nuclear weapons efforts of north korea and iran than other countries. to be clear, we don t know from this report which country this is talking about. do you expect that this was information about the military, though, of an american adversary? well, we simply don t know exceptional interest in the nuclear capabilities or aspirations of north korea and iran, we all did for national security purposes. but we don t know whether it was a friend or a foe, and the issue is not just about the content of the report, but what it may reveal about our sources and methods and capabilities to find out and learn about another country s military capabilities. so that is a particular concern as well, which why i think it is all the more important that the intelligence community quickly conduct its risk assessment of what may or may not have been released at mar-a-lag
