Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday slammed a CNN report that a CIA asset in Russia was “exfiltrated” because the spy agency’s officials were worried about President Trump’s handling of classified information.

“Yeah, I’ve seen that reporting. The reporting is materially inaccurate,” Pompeo said at a White House press briefing.

“And you should know, as a former CIA director I don’t talk about things like this very often — it is only the occasions that I think put people at risk, when the reporting is so egregious as to create enormous risks to the United States of America, that I even comment the way I just did.”

The former spy’s identity was reported Tuesday evening by Russian newspaper Kommersant.

The former spy, Oleg Smolenkov, vanished while he was on vacation with his family in Montenegro in 2017, according to the report. It added that he was likely extracted from Russia after he provided information to the Americans about Russia’s ­interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

Smolenkov worked for Yuri Ushakov, the Russian ambassador to the United States from 1999 to 2008, The Washington Post reported.

It’s not clear if he was the source who provided information to US intelligence agencies about 2016 election interference, but he was likely a valuable asset to the CIA, according to the report.

An unnamed diplomatic source downplayed Smolenkov’s position in a statement to Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda.

“He had a lackey function in the embassy,” the source told the newspaper.

CNN, in a report Monday that has since been disputed by other news organizations, said the CIA spy was pulled out of the country in 2017 because intelligence officials believed Trump could give up the man’s identity to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The New York Times and The Washington Post contradicted the network’s reporting, saying the spy was removed because reporters started grilling officials about his identity.

During his years in America, Smolenkov lived a quiet life in a DC suburb, according to The Washington Post.

A neighbor in his Virginia town told the newspaper he didn’t work and seemed to “have a lot of time on his hands.”
