Technically true? I mean by telling the Russians, Trump effectively declassified it

Given their track record, I take that as confirmation that he did share classified info

which itself said no military operations, sources, or methods were discussed. It DID say that classified information from a third country, shared with the US, was disclosed. That is not supposed to happen.
