The two newspapers, and others, further said the information could jeopardize a critical source of intelligence about Islamic State and the manner in which it was collected.
A U.S. president has the power to declassify nearly any information, so what Trump did does not appear to be illegal. But intelligence officials, quoted by the newspapers, expressed concern that the information, provided by a U.S. partner government, could harm crucial relationships.
The Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency declined immediate comment when contacted by VOA.
有报道说,美国总统川普在白宫椭圆形办公室向俄罗斯高级官员泄密了高度机密信息,美国国家安全顾问麦克马斯特等其他政府官员对报道的准确性予以驳斥。
麦克马斯特星期一傍晚在白宫院子里对记者说,源于华盛顿邮报的这篇报道是“假的”。他说:“总统没有谈论情报的来源和收集方法,也没有透露尚未公开的军事行动。”
他还说:“我当时在场。他没泄密。” 说完这句话后,麦卡马斯特没有回答记者的提问,转身回到白宫西翼办公楼。
国务卿蒂勒森也支持麦克马斯特的说法,称他自己也参加了5月10日川普同俄罗斯外长和大使的那次会见。蒂勒森在声明中说,当时“讨论了广泛的内容,包括反恐方面的共同努力及威胁”。
