Trial Balloon · Ep. 189: Navigating the Nonsense

McMaster Won’t Say If Trump Brought Up Meddling

May 21, 2017 · 10:26 am ET · Leave a Comment

President Trump’s national security adviser declined to say if the president confronted Russian officials about the country’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election during a meeting at the White House earlier this month, telling ABC News “there already was too much that’s been leaked from those meetings.”

Said McMaster: “I’m really concerned about these kind of leaks because it undermines everybody’s trust in that kind of an environment where you can have frank, candid and oftentimes unconventional conversations to try to protect American interests and secure the American people.”
