From blabbing secrets to the Russians, to believing Flynn can return to the White House, here’s everything Trump did this week.
1. Came under fire for disclosing classified information from Israel regarding ISIS in his meeting with the Russians.
"President Trump boasted about highly classified intelligence in a meeting with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador last week, providing details that could expose the source of the information and the manner in which it was collected, a current and a former American government official said Monday," The New York Times reported. "The intelligence disclosed by Mr. Trump in a meeting with Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, and Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, was about an Islamic State plot, according to the officials."
lol.
2. ...Information that he apparently did not know came from Israel.
3. And in that same meeting, bragged about the "relief" firing Comey — who he referred to as a "nut job" — brought him.
4. Faced harsh criticism for asking Comey to end his investigation into Mike Flynn.
"The documentation of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia. Late Tuesday, Representative Jason Chaffetz, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, demanded that the F.B.I. turn over all 'memoranda, notes, summaries and recordings' of discussions between Mr. Trump and Mr. Comey," the Times reported.
