00:00:00.899 --> 00:00:03.199
ADVISER.                        
LET'S HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY   

00:00:03.366 --> 00:00:05.098
ABOUT THIS.                     
>> BRIEF STATEMENT FOR THE      

00:00:05.232 --> 00:00:08.865
RECORD, THERE'S NOTHING THAT THE
PRESIDENT TAKES MORE SERIOUSLY  

00:00:08.999 --> 00:00:10.998
THAN THE SECURITY OF THE        
AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE STORY THAT 

00:00:11.132 --> 00:00:13.898
CAME OUT TONIGHT AS REPORTED IS 
FALSE.                          

00:00:14.032 --> 00:00:17.265
THE PRESIDENT AND THE FOREIGN   
MINISTER REVIEWED A RANGE OF    

00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.099
COMMON THREATS TO OUR TWO       
COUNTRIES INCLUDING THREATS TO  

00:00:21.266 --> 00:00:25.699
CIVIL AVIATION.                 
AT NO TIME, AT NO TIME WERE     

00:00:25.866 --> 00:00:29.265
INTELLIGENCE SOURCES OF METHODS 
DISCUSSED AND THE PRESIDENT DID 

00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.465
NOT DISCLOSE ANY MILITARY       
OPERATIONS THAT WERE NOT ALREADY

00:00:33.599 --> 00:00:36.199
PUBLICLY KNOWN.                 
TWO OTHER SENIOR OFFICIALS WHO  

00:00:36.366 --> 00:00:39.299
WERE PRESENT, INCLUDING THE     
SECRETARY OF STATE REMEMBER THE 

00:00:39.466 --> 00:00:42.099
MEETING THE SAME WAY AND HAVE   
SAID SO.                        

00:00:42.266 --> 00:00:45.365
THEY'RE ON THE RECORD OUT WEIGH 
THOSE OF ANONYMOUS SOURCES.     

00:00:45.499 --> 00:00:48.465
I WAS IN THE ROOM, IT DIDN'T    
HAPPEN.                         

00:00:48.599 --> 00:00:53.665
THANKS EVERYBODY.               
THANK YOU.                      

00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.299
>> LET'S GO TO KRISTIN WALKER.  
I THINK WHAT WE'RE SEEING THERE 

00:00:56.466 --> 00:01:01.299
IS SOMEONE DENYING SOMETHING    
THAT WASN'T INSERTED IN THE NEWS

00:01:01.466 --> 00:01:03.098
ARTICLE.                        
>> THE WASHINGTON POST ASSERTED 

00:01:03.232 --> 00:01:07.965
BASICALLY THEY DISCUSSED, HE    
DISCUSSED, GAVE AWAY OPERATIONAL

00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:12.998
INFORMATION ABOUT A TERRORIST   
PLOT AND ACTUALLY THE IDENTITY  

00:01:13.132 --> 00:01:14.932
OF THE SPOT WHERE IT'S GOING TO 
OCCUR.                          

00:01:15.066 --> 00:01:16.132
THERE WAS THAT KIND OF          
INFORMATION.                    

00:01:16.266 --> 00:01:18.865
NOBODY EVER SAID THAT THE       
PRESIDENT GAVE AWAY THE TIP     

00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:24.999
WHERE WE GOT IT FROM, WHAT THE  
TIP WAS.                        

00:01:25.166 --> 00:01:27.098
THAT WAS NONDENIAL, DENIAL.     
>> I THINK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY    

00:01:27.232 --> 00:01:29.799
RIGHT.                          
THEY CONTINUE TO GO BACK TO THIS

00:01:29.966 --> 00:01:33.999
WORDING, SOURCES, AND METHODS.  
THAT IS NOT WHAT WAS IN THE     

00:01:34.166 --> 00:01:36.765
WASHINGTON POST REPORT.         
THE WASHINGTON POST REPORT      

00:01:36.899 --> 00:01:44.698
STATES THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP     
RELAYED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION  

00:01:44.832 --> 00:01:49.798
THAT HE OBTAINED FROM ONE OF THE
ALLIES YOU DIDN'T HEAR McMASTER 

00:01:49.932 --> 00:01:53.499
ADDRESS THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE.    
HE TALKED ABOUT INFORMATION     

00:01:53.666 --> 00:01:56.665
OPERATIONS THAT WERE WIDELY     
KNOWN AND WIDELY REPORTED.      

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.098
THAT DOESN'T DEAL WITH WHAT THE 
WASHINGTON POST REPORTED THAT   

00:02:00.232 --> 00:02:01.898
THERE WAS INFORMATION THAT THE  
PRESIDENT CONVEYED.             

00:02:02.032 --> 00:02:07.265
I THOUGHT IT WAS SIGNIFICANT.   
YOU HEARD H.R. McMASTER SAY, I  

00:02:07.432 --> 00:02:10.398
WAS THERE, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.    
EXPECT HIM TO GET A LOT OF HEAT 

00:02:10.532 --> 00:02:14.798
AND PRESSURE IN THE COMING HOURS
AND COMING DAYS TO CLARIFY      

00:02:14.932 --> 00:02:17.599
SPECIFICALLY WHAT WENT DOWN IN  
THAT MEETING.                   

00:02:17.766 --> 00:02:21.799
I CAN'T UNDER SCORE THIS POINT, 
ENOUGH, THIS WAS A MEETING THAT 

00:02:21.966 --> 00:02:25.999
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD WITH        
AMBASSADOR.                     

00:02:26.166 --> 00:02:28.865
THE RUSSIAN MEDIA WAS THERE, THE
AMERICAN MEDIA WASN'T THERE,    

00:02:28.999 --> 00:02:32.699
THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY 
THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM.         

00:02:32.866 --> 00:02:37.398
AGAIN, THIS IS EXPLOSIVE        
HEADLINE FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION

00:02:37.466 --> 00:02:39.098
RELATED TO RUSSIA AT A MOMENT   
WHERE THEY, FRANKLY, CAN'T      

00:02:39.232 --> 00:02:41.399
AFFORD IT.                      
PRESIDENT WANTED TO BE FOCUS ON 

00:02:41.566 --> 00:02:44.132
THIS BIG FOREIGN AT THE END OF  
THE WEEK TO BE PICKING A
