American intelligence official warned Israelis Russia had 'leverage' on Trump: report


Israeli intelligence officials were warned in January that American intelligence agencies believed Russia had "leverages of pressure" over President Donald Trump, Vanity Fair reported Wednesday.

Members of Mossad, Israel's foreign espionage agency, and other Israeli intelligence officials attended a meeting in Langley, Virginia, a short time before Trump's inauguration.

The meeting was largely uneventful, until an American "spymaster" announced the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin had leverage over Trump. The official did not offer further specifics, Vanity Fair reported.

The official warned Israel to "be careful" once Trump was inaugurated, adding that it was possible sensitive information shared with the White House and the National Security Council could be leaked to Russians.
