National Security Advisor defends Trump & says he didn't know source of intelligence

White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has said that President Donald Trump wasn't aware of the source of the intelligence that he reportedly told Russian officials.

Mr Trump tweeted that he'd shared "facts pertaining to terrorism and airline safety" and wanted Russia to do more against so-called Islamic State.

McMaster defended the President saying the information he'd divulged was "wholly appropriate".
