Donald Trump Revealed Classified Intelligence From Israel to Russian Officials
The official Russian Foreign Ministry Twitter account has posted a video of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, his aides and European officials laughing about “passing secrets” to Russians.
As HuffPost reported, the meeting took place between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjorn Jagland. “These pictures won’t cause any problems for you?” Jagland joked.
“Depends on what kind of secrets you pass to me,” Lavrov responded before the group shared a laugh at the expense of the United States and Donald Trump.
Watch:
The video follows this week’s revelations that Donald Trump revealed classified intelligence from Israel to Russian officials, among them Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The official White House schedule for the day made no mention of Kislyak’s attendance and the meeting was closed to U.S. press, although open to a Russian photographer:
It was the same meeting in which Trump reportedly advised the Russian officials that he’d fired former FBI Director James Comey, a “nut job,” easing the “great pressure” from Comey’s probe into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
