According to the Post, Trump revealed information related to threats from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria that had been provided by a U.S. ally.
Schumer warned that if The Washington Post report is accurate, then Trump has “badly damaged our national security” and would “further damage” his relationship with the intelligence community.
“The president tweeted a version of events that undercut his advisors’ carefully worded denials and seems to confirm that the reports that he had shared the information in question,” he said.
