Washington D.C. – National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster held a press briefing on Tuesday to discuss the fake news WaPo hit piece which falsely claimed President Trump shared classified intel with the Russian Foreign Minister last week.

McMaster immediately addressed this false story from WaPo yesterday when he came out and said “The story that came out tonight, as reported, is false.” Today, however; he decided to do a press briefing on the danger of the leaks and to reinforce that the President in no way compromised any sources or methods.

Fox News correspondent, John Roberts asked McMaster if he has any idea how the leak got out and what steps is he taking to limit more leaks in the future.

McMaster responded with:

“I think national security is put at risk by this leak and leaks like this. There are a number of instances where this has occurred and I think it’s important to investigate these sort of things and to make sure we have trusted organizations across our government.”
