Photo: AFPWashington: President Donald Trump’s top foreign policy advisers raced to contain political damage from a report saying he revealed sensitive classified information to Russia’s top diplomat during an Oval Office meeting last week. The “story that came out tonight as reported is false,” White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said at a hastily arranged appearance outside the White House. The Post said homeland security and counterterrorism adviser Thomas Bossert called the directors of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency afterward. That specific information could be enough to let the Russians identify the source and method, according to one intelligence official cited by the Post.
