Meeting withrussian officials. Lets listen in. I dont want to get into specifics of what exact information was shared with exact allies, but information on this topic of the threat to aviation was shared with multiple allies. As you know, there are already policies being put in place to protect against that threat. And you and many others reported widely on this. In terms of the specifics, i have no basis for comparison with what was shared with what country. But i will tell you it was our impression of all of us in the meetings as i mentioned already, that what was shared was wholly appropriate given the purpose of that conversation and the purpose of what the president was trying to achieve through that meeting. Is there an imminent threat . General, when it came out after the story broke, you said that the president did not disclose any sources or method, he did not reveal anything about military operations. Why were you denying that were not even reported . What the report said is that the president revealed classified information that had been shared by one of our allies in the middle east. So the question is simply a question or no question here. Did the president share classified information with the russians in that meeting . As i mentioned already, we dont say whats classified, whats not classified. What i will tell you again is that what the president shared was wholly appropriate. This story, the story combined, what was leaked with other information and then insinuated about sources and methods. So i wanted to make clear to everybody that the president in no way compromised any sources or methods in the course of this conversation. General, did you say that National Security is going to. [ inaudible ] do you have any idea how this got out and what steps are you taking by virtue of discoverying this as you about potential for any more leaks of National Security information. I think National Security is put at risk by this leak and by leaks like this. And as you know, there are a number of instances where this has occurred, and i think its important to investigate these sort of things and to make sure that we have trusted organizations across our government that allows for the free sharing of information and collaboration. In terms of National Security, what is critical is that you can assemble the experts you need. You want a bigger group, right, for any of these complex problems, because you need their expertise. You need the tools they bring to bear from different agencies and departments. And so what we really have to do is make sure we have a very high degree of confidence in all of our organizations and all of our systems and processes, so we can do what we need to do for the president , which is give him our best advice and give him options to deal with these very complex problems. Clearly you cant have that confidence by what happened yestery. This got out and how can you tighten up the ship, as it were, to ensure from your perspective at least, that this stuff doesnt get out. I think its incumbent on all of us to bring in the people with the right authorities and the right mandate to take a look at how this leak occurred and how other breaches may have occurred as well. General macmasters, to put a finer point on it, is there now an active investigation into how this information was leaked and can you tell us about whos running that investigation . I also would like to ask you, given that President Trump is now going to be meeting faceto face with literally dozens of foreign leaders, if there are sensitivity to his discretion in what sort of information is classified, how is that something that you are advising him ahead of this foreign trip . I mean, there are no sensitivities in terms of me or anybody whos been with the president in many of these engagements. He shares information that is wholly appropriate. And i should just the statement here that the president wasnt even aware of where this information came from. He wasnt briefed on the source or method of the information either. So im sorry this has got to be the last question, because we do have the president of turkey coming momentarily. Thank you very much. We have more questions, general. Whos investigating the leak . All right, we were listening to National Security general mcmaster who assured the media and public no matter what President Trump said during his meeting with russian officials last week, that it in no way compromised sources or methods of intelligence gathering. That meeting was made the day after the president fired fbi director james comey, who was leading the investigation into whether Trump Administration officials were coordinating with russia during the 2016 elections. Now, experts say here are deal. First, for some, the whole thing calls into question the president s competence. Also, sharing intelligence with allies is another major concern, and there are reports that some allied intelligence agencies fear information they share with the administration could be leaked. And timing experts say this couldnt come at a worse time for the president as he prepares to take his first steps on the world stage with the trip to saudi arabia, israel, italy and belgium. Many on social media are weighing in and the opinions are not favorable. Nancy tweets, donald trump stupid did i is mind blowing. Just because you can doesnt mean you should. However, alexander blames the media for all this tweeting great job, washington post. You are now being ignored globally. Make America Great again. President trump, trump train.
