Speaking to Fox News, Ms Sanders accused CNN of running stories without fact-checking what their sources report to them just to spite and publicly criticise US President Donald Trump. After CNN claimed the CIA had to take a US spy out of Russia for their own safety, Ms Sanders said the network was blaming the Government for mistakes made by the Obama administration.

She said: “There’s such a rush to find things to attack this President and to blame this President. “They don’t care if it’s right or not, they can get one person to say it happened and they run with it. “With CNN running out and pushing this narrative that the President put operatives in danger is just another example of the media trying to blame President Trump for the mistakes and the failure of the previous administration. “We’ve seen it time and time again and I don’t think that they’re going to stop.

Mr Sciutto reported: “A person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy.

“The decision to carry out the extraction occurred soon after a May 2017 meeting in the Oval Office in which Trump discussed highly classified intelligence with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and then-Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak. “The intelligence, concerning ISIS in Syria, had been provided by Israel. “The disclosure to the Russians by the President, though not about the Russian spy specifically, prompted intelligence officials to renew earlier discussions about the potential risk of exposure, according to the source directly involved in the matter. “At the time, then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo told other senior Trump administration officials that too much information was coming out regarding the covert source, known as an asset. “An extraction, or ‘exfiltration’ as such an operation is referred to by intelligence officials, is an extraordinary remedy when US intelligence believes an asset is in immediate danger.
