President Donald Trump on Monday accused former FBI Director James Comey of illegally leaking classified information to the media, going on the defensive amid reports that during the 2016 campaign his son Donald Trump Jr. met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer who promised him damaging information on Hillary Clinton.
Trump claimed Comey “leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media” in a tweet early Monday morning.
“That is so illegal!” the President tweeted.
James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media. That is so illegal!
