Seems like Trump is referring to meeting w/ the Russians in the White House, where he disclosed highly classified intel on ISIS from Israel

.....Reports about the meeting have not claimed the Trump explicitly mentioned Israel as the source of the intelligence.
National security adviser H.R. McMaster, who was in the room, said last week Trump wasnt even aware of where this information came from because he wasnt briefed on the source."

(82,849 posts)But that may have been only because President Trump didn't know where the information came from at the time he blabbed it. Now that he knows, he's more than happy to tell the assembled press corps that it was an Israeli asset that he burned.

(51,550 posts)What has been reported is that he provided highly classified intelligence and the city where it was procured. The press then correctly pointed out that this information can be reverse-engineered by Russia to figure out the source.
