The tweet was reposted by social media users, including many lawmakers, after The Washington Post reported that Trump divulged information from a foreign intelligence source with expertise on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador during their Oval Office meeting last week.
Citing current and former U.S. officials, the Post reported that Trump disclosed more information than the U.S. had shared even with its allies.
