b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 President Trump has called National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster "a pain"
and complained that he talks too much in meetings, The New York Times
reported Tuesday.
Some senior advisers worry about leaving Trump alone during meetings with
foreign leaders, the report said.
McMaster has tried to subtly correct Trump in conversations when he thinks
necessary and help keep him on topic — a habit that has annoyed Trump, the
Times wrote.
After reports surfaced Monday that Trump had revealed highly classified
intelligence to Russian officials, McMaster said outside the White House
that the "story that came out tonight, as reported, is false."
On Tuesday, McMaster said Trump did not jeopardize intelligence assets by
revealing highly sensitive information to the Russians, adding that Trump
did not know where the intel came from.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, McMaster disputed the “premise”
of media reports that Trump put intelligence sources in jeopardy by
disclosing the information, saying it was “wholly appropriate” for the
president to discuss.
"The president in no way undermined sources or methods in the course of this
conversation,” he said, adding that the information could be found in "
open-source reporting." | c******e 发帖数: 2503 | | r******n 发帖数: 1058 | |
