and first on "gma," the newly crowned miss usa here live. the nuclear scientist breaking her silence about that firestorm over what she said on the pageant stage about health care and feminism. what she wants america to know this morning. good morning, america. a very busy tuesday morning. so much fallout from that report that president trump revealed highly classified information to the russian ambassador and minister during that meeting last week. >> what's at stake, this is information about the fight against isis that is so sensitive that the u.s. doesn't even share it with our allies. it could jeopardize the source of the secret if true, it could be the most significant and dangerous mistake of the trump presidency. >> our team is standing by covering every angle. >> we begin at the white house with our senior correspondent

cecilia vega who was there for all the fallout. all through the night. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: a long night, indeed, george. the president as you know is legally allowed to declassify information. the bigger question here right now, is did president trump reveal classified intelligence that could jeopardize the source of that information and risk critical intelligence sharing agreements with some of our closest allies? this morning, the white house in damage control mode. national security adviser h.r. mcmaster stepping up to the cameras denouncing "the washington post" report that claims president trump disclosed extremely sensitive intelligence during last week's meeting with russian officials. >> at no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed, and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. i was in the room. it didn't happen. >> reporter: he left without taking questions. >> thank you.

>> reporter: but mcmaster did not directly address the key finding of that report, that the president shared highly classified information that could compromise a key source of intelligence on isis. the reverberations still being felt from that bombshell. that classified intelligence allegedly about an isis plot in syria. "the post" says it was given to the u.s. by a partner and is so sensitive that not even allies have access to it. the president reportedly boasting to the russians about his briefing and inside knowledge. aides were so concerned "the post" says they asked that the controversial portion be stricken from internal memos and for the full transcript to be limited to a small circle of recipients. opponents pounced pointing to then candidate trump on the campaign trail and his tough words about hillary clinton's handling of classified intelligence. >> in my administration, i'm going to enforce all laws

concerning the protection of classified information. >> reporter: this morning "the washington post" reporter behind that report defending it. >> many sources we've talked to in covering this administration are concerned about how intelligence and classified sensitive information is treated and handled. we stand by our story 100%. >> reporter: they are definitely standing by their story. now, the timing of this report could not be worse for this administration, of course, it falls on the heels of the white house's bungled firing of the fbi director. after this story broke here last night, we heard yelling behind closed doors here in this west wing, robin. this is a white house in chaos right now. >> that's right. reaction pouring in from capitol hill where there seems to be a bipartisan consensus that the report if true is deeply troubling. mary bruce in washington, what are the lawmakers saying? >> reporter: robin, this morning lawmakers on both sides of the

aisle want answers. democrats and republicans were quick to criticize and raise questions and lawmakers describe this as troubling, disturbing and shocking. the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee calling this a slap in the face to the intelligence community. even a top trump ally, senator bob corker, the chair of the foreign relations committee says the white house needs to get its act together saying the white house has got to do something soon to bring itself under control. obviously they're in a downward spiral right now. and they've got to figure out a way to come to grips with all that's happening. >> mary, there are calls for lawmakers to now be briefed on what the president allegedly said. >> reporter: yeah, what happened in this meeting now tops congress' growing list of russia related questions and asking for the national security adviser or intelligence leaders to come and brief members so they can get to the bottom of this. robin, even the republican speaker of the house is calling for a full explanation?

as you said both sides of the aisle. thank you, mary. >> so much fall ute we'll break it down with our team, martha raddatz and john cohen along with our chief white house correspondent jon karl and dan abrams and, martha, let me begin with you and that statement from general mcmaster, the national security adviser last night. in some ways a classic nondenial denial. >> that's what it sounded like to me. a source is who you got the information from. the method is how you got it. was it wiretapping? was it a human being? and that's the scary part. if they figure out who it was, is that person's life in jeopardy? but the bottom line is it can hurt us and put us at risk because in the future that country may not share because they're scared it will come out. now, again, mcmaster said that donald trump did not reveal sources and methods but apparently according to "the post" he revealed enough someone may be able to figure out who

those sources are and methods. >> perhaps the location where the plot was. let me bring in john cohen. you served in homeland security. talk about the level of classification we were seeing here, how sensitive this information was. >> good morning, george. we're talking about some of the most sensitive information the u.s. government has. when information like this is provided by a foreign government, it's only shared on a limited basis with people in the u.s. government. and it certainly is not shared broadly with people outside the u.s. government. so, this is a major, major problem if it's, in fact, true. >> and the additional problem, john, of the fact it's being given to the russians who, of course, are close to iran. >> that's exactly right. i mean the russians are an adversary power. they may have tried to interfere with our election according to the intelligence community, so it's somewhat mind-boggling to

me we would share this highly sensitive information putting at risk very important relationships with our allies with the russians. >> and, dan abrams, the point that cecilia made at the top, the president can do whatever he wants with classified information. it wouldn't be illegal but it is for anybody else in the government. >> anybody else in the government and you would be talking about the possibility of a serious crime depending on whether someone believed that it was intentional or not. but the president has the ability as a legal matter to declassify anything at any time. the way that the classification system is set up in effect is for the president so the president can then make that decision. but as you point out, anyone else and we'd be talking about this in a very different context. >> jon karl, we're hearing for the first time on this from the president himself just in the last couple of minutes he's been tweeting. >> we're hearing from the president via twitter and it is not an out right denial.

he is tweeting as president i wanted to share with russia at a white house meeting which i had the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. humanitarian reasons, plus i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. we do share information with the russians on counterterrorism frequently. this however, may be different. >> one of the big questions is going to be whether the president did this deliberately or at some level didn't know what he was doing. some of the people with the president in the meeting said they came out thinking that nothing was amiss. >> yes, a senior official i talked to said they did not think anything said in that meeting was wrong. but the big question is then why did someone go to the nsa? why did someone go to the cia to do damage control? and what the u.s. shares with russia is often very, very limited. that's also something we have to ask about. >> lots of questions now coming

from capitol hill. john cohen, at issue will be what kind of record exists of this meeting. oftentimes meetings like this are transcribed in the white house. i spoke with one white house official who said there wasn't a transcript of this meeting. simply notes. >> typically, george, in these type of meetings there is a note taker. probably a note taker that has the language skills to be able to understand what the person meeting with the president is actually saying without having to rely on a translator so there are notes. a transcript can be made from those notes. i'd be very surprised if there wasn't a transcript that existed of this meeting. particularly now. >> members of the congress and senators demand all records of that meeting. >> we will bring in our investigative correspondent brian ross. your sources are really concerned about this report. >> this morning they believe this could lead to clues that could lead to the uncovering of an informant.

human source inside isis who has been vital in detecting plots they were working on. >> far from over and new developments in the cyberattack that affected 150 countries. we're hearing that north korea has a play in this. >> they appear to be the chief culprit here. law enforcement authorities, intelligence agencies around the world saying the track could lead to north korea. that the computer code that produced the so-called wannacry attack with these ominous messages appears to have similarities to the code used by north korea in an attack on international banks last year. it could be someone else using north korean code researchers say but the country has a long record of computer criminality. while there is still no official attribution who behind it the tally of tar gets continues to grow. more than 300,000 in 150 countries, auto plants, factories, railroad companies and fedex in the u.s. has been hit. >> have some paid. >> 243 people we're told followed the hackers directions to pay $300 or more to have them free but

none of the companies got a key to get it back so that was a second scam. >> thank you, robin. we turn to the new video of that plane crash showing a learjet slamming into buildings near an airport just outside of new york city. abc's linzie janis is on the scene in carlstadt, new jersey. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, michael. it was a terrifying scene. that eight-seater small, private plane coming in for what appeared to be a routine landing then bursting into flames. just seconds before the pilot communicating with the control tower and everything seemed fine. new video overnight showing that deadly plane crash plummeting out of the sky crashing and erupting into a ball of flames. >> tower, learjet just crashed. >> reporter: the learjet was less than one mile from the runway at new jersey's teterboro airport. when eyewitnesses say the plane lost control flipping over

slamming into three buildings. >> it hit three buildings. there are just pieces of the plane like all throughout the yard. melted cars parked here. almost impossible to describe. >> reporter: moments before the crash communications with the pilots sounded normal. >> so you gonna start that turn. >> yes, sir. we're doing it right now. >> but seconds later the plane spirals out of the sky. >> airport's closed. airport's closed. everyone just stop taxiing right now. >> request for a mutual aid ambulance in carlstadt. scene of a plane crash into a building. >> reporter: rescue teams racing to the scene. both pilots died in that crash but incredibly no one on the ground was injured. in fact, michael, one of those main buildings hit had closed just 30 minutes before the crash with all the workers having gone home for the day. michael. >> all right, scary situation. thank you, linzie. we turn to that new video. new developments in yet another fraternity hazing death. this time in new york's baruch college where four members have

pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter after a pledge died during a hazing ritual and gio benitez has the story. good morning, gio. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. the students from this campus rented a home in the poconos for this pledge party. that's when everything went downhill and this morning we have guilty pleas. overnight, four former pi delta psi fraternity members pleading guilty for their roles in the hazing death of 19-year-old chun "michael" deng. >> he needed emergency attention and they delayed for several hours. >> reporter: authorities say in december 2013, deng participated in the hazing ritual called the glass ceiling where pledges run across a frozen field blindfolded and wearing a 30-pound backpack while fraternity members shove and take the pledges down. police say the hazing was harder on deng than anyone else calling the event brutal saying that after he was speared during a tackle he complained about his head hurting before he was eventually knocked out. police say the students waited

more than an hour before driving him to the hospital, 45 minutes away but in that time authorities say they did make one phone call to the national fraternity president who told the brothers to hide all fraternity items. police say that during that time, some members changed deng's clothing and conducted internet searches for phrases like concussion, can't wake up and pupils don't dilate. his official cause of death, multiple traumatic injuries. the forensic pathologist assigned said the delay in treatment significantly contributed to the death. >> this was not an intentional act but a tragedy for all concerned. >> reporter: and these former students will now likely face two to three years in prison but a judge could sentence them up to 27 years in prison, george. >> okay, gio, thanks very much. amy has the other top stories. horrific images from syria. new claims of mass

atrocities in syria and the state department says these satellite images show a crematorium where the regime of bashar al assad tried to cover up mass executions burning the bodies of detainees. up to 50 people are reportedly executed per day. this morning, the syrian government denied the accusations just as new peace talks begin today. well, the trump administration has angered israel's government days before the president's trip to the middle east. while planning the president's visit to the western wall, a trump aide claimed the wall is part of the west bank. the israelis protested saying they were astonished at the remark. the white house says the statement does not reflect official u.s. policy. a shocking discovery on a remote island in the south pacific. scientists found 38 million pieces of trash. most of it plastic washed up on henderson island. that's 18 tons of trash. the island is thousands of miles from the nearest city and is on the edge of ocean currents that

carry floating trash. well, major cuts could be looming at ford. the company is reportedly looking to reduce its global work-force by 10% after profits plunged in the first quarter. and bill cosby saying racism may very well be a factor in his sexual abuse case. during a new interview cosby claims his accusers are, quote, piling on to turn public opinion against him. his trial begins next month. and finally a dad in seattle has become a hero for thousands of local schoolkids. jeffrey lou launched a go fund me campaign to pay off the lunch debt of every family with a child to stop school lunch shaming. his effort inspired people to give. he needed 21,000 to cover all the outstanding debt. in six days he raised $23,000 and i love it because it started. he wanted to cover the bills of his sons' elementary schoolkids and expanded from there. a beautiful thing. >> thank you so much, amy. some severe weather in the plains.

>> so much in the past 24 hour, more than 130 severe storm reports. this stunning light show in the panhandle of texas. you can see it blowing through there. a lot of those storms were on the dry line but another in madison, wisconsin. there is a huge area at risk today that comes along both that stationary and cold front and dry line stretching from the canadian border all the way to mexico. really the region i want you to focus on western kansas, western oklahoma. i was looking at some of the variables, lifted index which tells us about big hail. big hail possible and tornadoes especially in this region today, this afternoon and evening. let's get your tuesday trivia.

first time she believes he did not commit suicide. amy, you have the details. >> that's right. last month prosecutors and state police ruled aaron hernandez's death a suicide and subsequently closed their case but now hernandez's fiancee is raising questions about the circumstances surrounding his death and that suicide note. she says she wants answers. shayanna jenkins-hernandez speaking out for the first time since the death of her fiancee aaron hernandez appearing on "dr. phil." >> they informed me aaron was deceased and at first i thought it was a hoax. >> reporter: police ruled his death a suicide after he was found hanging in his jail cell last month but shayanna, his high school sweetheart and mother of their 4-year-old says she has reservations. >> i don't think this is a suicide. knowing him, he was very positive. so excited to come home. as far as i know i was the last person to speak with him.

>> the last words he said to you were what? >> i remember him saying, babe, i've got to go. they're shutting the doors and i honestly don't think that we said i love you to each other. it was a normal conversation which makes me doubt so many things. >> reporter: shayanna also questioning the authenticity of the supposed suicide note from the former patriots tight end. >> see it was addressed to shay instead of babe or bey, the way he would refer to me. it wasn't personal. it wasn't intimate. it was -- i don't know. there were some odd parts. >> reporter: and that bible versus john 3:16 that was written on his forehead. shayanna said he was not religious and never quoted that verse before. >> aaron was spiritual, but he wasn't the kind of guy to get up every sunday and go to church. >> reporter: hernandez was serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of his friend odin lloyd. jenkins testifying during that

trial saying hernandez asked her to get rid of a box shortly after lloyd's death. prosecutors believe that box contained the murder weapon, which was never recovered. >> did he indicate to you what was inside the box? >> no. >> reporter: hernandez's conviction was erased by a massachusetts judge but shayanna believes he died an innocent man. >> i asked if he was involved and he said no. that's all i needed. >> he stood trial for two other murders. he was found not guilty days before his death. george. >> back with dan abrams, again, so what is the import of this what she is saying? could it lead to a new investigation. >> i don't think so. i think it's often hard for a family member to believe someone would take his own life and as a result looks for other explanations. i think that very few outside of a tight-knit group of people who are very close to him are seriously considering anything but a suicide in connection with this case.

>> she seemed to have some hope that he might have been released from jail but he was serving under a conviction that had not been wiped away. >> let's be clear what happened. so, in massachusetts, if you die while your appeal is pending as a technical matter your conviction gets erased. if he had not died, his appeal would have been a long shot. the evidence in the first case was much stronger than the evidence in the second case. the one where he was acquitted. in fact, many of the judges' rulings would be seen as pro-defense in the first case and as a result i don't think that he would have had a very good chance at all of winning his appeal in the first case. >> and because he died under this appeal, there can also be a claim at least that he could be owed some money from the boston patriots. >> right, so a lot of people are suggesting, okay, now that the conviction was erased she'll be able to get access to money from the patriots, for example, except, again, people forget that hernandez settled with the patriots in 2014.

so to undo that settlement is not going to be easy. could she make a claim? yes. will she make a claim? maybe. will she win? probably not. so, it is simply not that clear cut that conviction gets erased, therefore, she's suddenly entitled to this pot of money that was not applicable before. >> bottom line legally it doesn't change much at all. >> legally i don't think it changes anything. the question is does it change anything now that he's died as to whether she has the potential to get access to any additional funds. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. robin. >> all right, george, thank you, coming up, miss usa is here live. her first interview and she'll talk to michael. next on "gma" a terrifying home invasion involving a real housewife star and her boyfriend. housewife star and her boyfriend. ouch! ♪ skin-flex™, anna! sit! new band-aid® brand skin-flex™ bandages.

p.m. saturday they were returning home from the celebration when they were attacked by two masked intruders. >> everyone keeps an eye out on everyone else here because it's a small community. >> reporter: cantin was struck several times with a baseball bat by one of the assailants. manzo was punched multiple times by the other. they were tied up while the robbers stole cash and jewelry. eventually cantin freed himself and called 911. they were taken to the hospital and treated for facial injuries. dina and david are obviously shaken from the traumatic and violent home invasion and robbery. no one should ever have to go through what they did. guidice who posted these photos hours before the attack said i am very shaken by what has happened and very concerned for my friend who i love like a sister. i hope whoever did this is caught and punished. >> the brutality tells me they were amateurs and overreacted during a home invasion and beat the victims for no real cause. >> were they targeted? we don't know that.

police are asking for helps, tips. you want to catch a criminal robbing somebody but these are two potentially very violent people still out on the loose and as bad as it sounded they're out of the hospital expected to make a full recovery. >> that's the good part of it. thank you, t.j. coming up in two minutes, the new miss usa. she is here live taking on that firestorm over what she said on stage. we'll get her response. it's a first on "gma." we'll be right back. n "gma." we'll be right back. where should you start when you're told you have cancer? start with a specialist. start where you'll find advanced technology, precision treatment options and truly compassionate care. start here with a team of experts who treat only cancer. every stage. every day. it's not one thing we do. it's the only thing we do. start at cancer treatment centers of america. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more at cancercenter.com/experts

like this die-hard, you know, like, ah, i don't care about men. one thing i'll say, women, we are just as equal as men when it comes to opportunity in the workplace. >> reporter: one blogger responding what is wrong with being a feminist miss dc usa? who says feminists hate men? some taking her side. even a 2016 miss america contestant weighing in tweeting, leave it to twitter to absolutely bail on #missdc because she expressed a nonsocialist position. for "good morning america," adrienne bankert, abc news, new york. >> and the newly crowned miss usa joining us right now, kara mccullough. congratulations. >> thank you. >> congratulations to you. i see you're wearing your sash. how does it feel to be miss usa 2017? >> it's still surreal. i'm extremely thankful for this entire experience so probably sink in immediately after this interview that we're having. >> you said you've been in a cube for four years and now you

are way out of that cube. >> i am. >> in the spotlight. >> i am so definitely like a huge change. i'm adjusting very quickly, i can say but i feel comfortable being here so thank you for inviting me. >> winning the title obviously put you in the spotlight but another thing that put heat on you is this online -- been a lot of comments made when you made your comments about health care, you called it a privilege, not a right. were you surprised by the reaction online? >> not at all. i believe that's what america is based on like having opinions and views. but i would like to just take this moment to truly just clarify because i am a woman, i'm going to own what i said. i am privileged to have health care and i do believe that it should be a right and i hope and pray moving forward that health care is a right for all worldwide. >> because health care is a complicated topic and you get 30 seconds. you're put on the spot to give an answer to that and so you -- would you change anything you said? >> i would love to clarify. really hone in on a couple of those -- let them know, hey, i am privileged to have health

care. i want people to see where i was coming from. having a job, i have to look at health care like it is a privilege. >> and another comment that created a little firestorm is, well, you use the term equalism instead of feminism and what do you mean by that? >> for me where i work at with the nuclear regulatory commission, equalism, no matter your gender you're given the same accolades on your work so i believe the person does a good job, they should be, you know, credited for that in a sense but i don't want anyone to look at that i'm not about women's rights. because i am. we deserve a lot when it comes to opportunity in the workplace as well as leadership positions and seen and witnessed firsthand the impact women have. look at this show this morning, so just blessed to be in the presence of you all. >> as you said you work at the nuclear regulatory commission. how does this all compare to your day job? >> i mean, two totally different

worlds, right? i would say where i was previously is regulatory compliance so i don't say nuclear power is safe but i'm the one to make sure it is safe. >> starting your year-long reign as miss usa. you see your words carry a lot of weight, a lot of meaning so what are you -- what are you planning to use for your platform? what is it going to be? >> stem enrichment for children and i struggle with math as a child and i just found so much joy in science and wanted to be able to understand it and that's why i started my program, science exploration for kids and want children to find joy in science and not look at it like it's difficult. moving forward i'm hoping to continue to visit schools, do science projects and symposiums with high school students and encourage them to look at feels in the science, technology, engineering and math. >> open up the gates. another avenue open for you. this is the second year in a row that d.c. has won. do we see a dynasty coming?

>> honestly i'll let you coin that, but, yes, i'm looking forward to that as well, right. d.c. is just like, i don't know if it's in the water or the area but the opportunity and just the women coming out of there are amazing. even being on stage with all of the 50 contestants i was just so thankful to be in the midst of such intelligent women. >> being miss usa 2017, what are you looking forward to the most? >> opportunity to kind of just be touched by so many different people. i was a military child so i had the opportunity to experience worldwide culture and the biggest component of just like traveling so much was being able to interact with people from different cultures and i'm just hoping to be touched by so many people. >> i tell you what, we thank you for coming and congratulations. >> thank you. >> make sure you enjoy it. well deserved. >> thank you. >> miss usa 2017, everybody, and, robin, back to you. >> from one military child to another, bless you. >> thank you, yes. >> and another. >> yes. >> i used to say military brat.

years there have been 359 reports of possible implant-related cancer including nine deaths. the american society of plastic surgeons telling abc news it has a singular focus on patient safety. and that it will continue to fund multiple research projects to further delineate this disease process. >> there may be something about the texture of the implant inducing some inflammation causing the cancer but it's currently not well understood why it happens. >> reporter: after four six-week rounds of chemotherapy and stem stem transplant she is now in remission and next month she will be two years cancer-free. glad to hear that and dr. jennifer ashton is here. so tell us more about this particular cancer. >> this is really a new kid on the block and a lot of doctors even haven't heard about it. you can consider it implant-associated lymphoma. a rare cancer generally treatable.

the symptoms basically redness, pain, some swelling or asymmetry in one breast and take a look at these numbers because they're very important. in this country in the last six years there have been approximately 2 million implants placed for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons, so far the fda has tracked just over 350 cases of this lymphoma. nine deaths so far. the estimates are that a woman's chance of getting this is about 1 in 30,000, a low risk but not zero. >> what should you ask if you're thinking about getting an implant? >> the more questions the better. when you're getting something placed in your body, you want to know as much as possible so when you're talking about them ask what type of incision is being used. what size are those implants and that will be in units of ccs. what is it filled with saline and silicone and who makes it? it's been more associated with this textured or gummy bear implant versus the smooth kind and want to ask will it be under the muscle.

[ applause ] >> that's michael fassbender here right now. so how weird is it to play against yourself? >> it was -- well, actually i was playing against a guy called tom o'sullivan because he was my double so whenever i was playing david he'd be walter and vice versa. so i did have another reference point.

>> we're hearing the flute. here it is right now. did you actually learn to play it. >> well, i played the tin whistle when i was a kid. it was the sort of first musical instrument i was introduced to. not very well and that one that i'm playing there is actually it's a prop flute so it sounded awful but i had to practice certain finger sort of positions or whatever and my neighbor, i stopped after -- heard my neighbor saying i wish that guy would top practicing that damn flute. >> you got the message. >> yeah i got the message. i put a little tape in the air hole and played silent flute from there on. >> we did show earlier the -- you were on the "graham norton show" break dancing. i'm not going to ask you to dance. >> thank god. things could have gone horribly wrong. i thought i might end up the rest of the show on the floor with my back out. >> the rest of your cast mates said you were the one cracking everybody up on set. >> i'm not sure that's true. if danny mcbride in the mix, i think, you know, it's hard to

keep up with him but, you know, we like to make it fun. it's nice to have fun when you're working and i enjoyed it. >> you always play such serious characters. comedy coming up? >> yeah, i hope so. it would be nice. i feel like it's time, yeah. >> we've heard one other buzz out there right now, maybe james bond? >> i don't know anything about that. [ laughter ] >> we're getting used to nondenials but before we go because we did also hear you memorized john denver, everything anyone ever needed to know about john denver. >> yeah, and i have forgotten it. his name was deutschendorf was his real name or something. yeah, we just messed around. ridley is a very sort of mischievous character. >> ridley scott, of course. >> yes. and so, you know, he's always up for trying stuff out in the day

so we started wikipediaing john denver and gave a breakdown and threw it in the scene. needless to say it didn't end up in the film but on the floor and wasn't that good. >> we have everybody else from the cast coming out in a minute. mick mulvaney michael, thanks for being here.

>> announcer: this is an abc news special report. now reporting, george stephanopoulos. >> good day, we're coming on the air right now because the president's national security adviser, general h.r. mcmaster is about to speak in the white house briefing room. you see sean spicer at the podium right now. here comes general mcmaster of course in the wake of that blockbuster report that president trump revealed highly classified intelligence with russian individuals. >> i'm happy to do that today. sean tells me there's another topic you might want to talk about as well. so i'm happy to answer any questions about that after we go through the schedule here. first of all, secretary tillerson will accompany the presidential for most of the trip, breaking off just before the g-7 meeting. as you know, the trip will begin in saudi arabia. it's an historic trip. after the arrival ceremony the president will have coffee with king s solomon, attend a banquet and hold bilateral meetings with

the king, the crown prince and the deputy crown prince. he will also participate in a signing ceremony of several agreements that will further solidify u.s./saudi security and economic cooperation. that evening, the president and the first lady will join members of the saudi royal family for an official dinner. the next day, the president will hold bilateral meetings with gulf cooperation council leaders as well as broader meetings with all the gulf state leaders. in the afternoon, he will meet and have lunch with leaders of more than 50 muslim countries where he will deliver an inspiring yet direct speech on the need to confront radical yldology -- >> going through the president's schedule for his first foreign trip next week. i want to bring in your various correspondents to talk about questions that he is going to be dressing and i'll make sure that we dip in. martha raddatz, the white house has been in damage control mode

since that story broke in "the washington post" yesterday afternoon. the allegation is the president gave highly classified information to the russian foreign minister and russian ambassador just a day after he fired james comey. very carefully crafted denials. >> very, very specific denials, george. he said that at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. the story that came out tonight as reported is false, but the "washington post" story did not say that president trump revealed sources and methods. sources of course are who you got the information from. methods, how you got the information. but by revealing, the "post" says this highly sensitive classified information, it opened it up to someone figuring out who the sources and methods were. >> of course the president himself this morning in those

tweets seemed to affirm at least the thrust of the story. he said as president i wanted to share with russia at an openly scheduled white house meeting which i have the absolute right to do facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety, humanitarian reasons, plus i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. the president seeming to suggest that theis was a matter of strategy, not an accident. >> yes. and as we have said over and over again, he has the right to declassify anything he wants. but look at that meeting. it was the day after comey was fired, he was spoeaking to the russians, and remember, the russians according to all 17 intelligence agencies in the united states with high confidence believed russia hacked into the dnc. >> and brian ross, our chief investigative correspondent, of course if the russians could figure out whoa t the source is they could share it with iran and compromise the

investigation. very dangerous. >> absolutely. the u.s. relies heavily on our allies in the middle east and britain on isis. those countries insist that the u.s. keep that very closely held. by sharing this, it violates that sense of trust which can jeopardize the ongoing information. that's really the key here. they're providing key information about what isis is plotting. is that information is turned off, that hurts the u.s. >> of course the president has the right to release this information. if this were anybody else, that person is going to jail. >> absolutely. four years ago an fbi agent contractor was sentenced to three years in prison for providing information about an al qaeda bomb plot. >> mary bruce on capitol hill, members of congress from both parties saying this is very dangerous, raising real concerns right now. we've now heard from the chairman of the senate intelligence committee saying they want -- the republican chairman saying they want more information on this meeting. democratic leader chuck schumer saying they want the transcripts. >> reporter: george, members of both sides of the aisle here are demanding more information. they want to get to the bottom of this.

as you mentioned, the senate intelligence committee has reached out to the white house for more information. chuck schumer, the democratic leader, is calling on the white house to release the transcripts, saying that if the president has nothing to hide, then he should show exactly what was said in this meeting. george, republicans and democrats are both voicing serious concern here, even one of the president's top allies, senator bob corker, the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, is warning that the white house is in a downward spiral here, that they need to get their act together. this is not what republicans want to be talking about up here. they want to be focused on their agenda. mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, made that very clear this morning, saying the white house could do with a little less drama. >> they would like a lot less drama, i believe. we're going to go back to general mcmaster. he's wrapping up the trip briefing. likely to address the questions now. >> i asked sean to call on any of you who have questions. >> general mcmaster, you came

out to the stakeout area yesterday and coming out to the stake outar stakeout area you said that the "washington post" story that came out late yesterday afternoon was false. do you stick by that assertion? do you think every element of that story is false and do you have anything to correct in terms of what you said at the podium yesterday afternoon? >> i stand by my statement that i made yesterday. the premise of that article is false that in any way the president had a conversation that was inappropriate or that resulted in any kind of lapse in national security. and so i think the real issue, and i think what i'd like to see really debated more is that our national security has been put at risk by those violating confidentiality and those releasing information to the press that could be used, connected with other information available to make american citizens and others more vulnerable. >> general, was classified information --

>> sir, can you tell us if prime minister netanyahu will join president trump at the western wall and does the president believe the western wall is part of his -- >> i'm sorry? the leaders will join president trump at the western wall. he's going to the western wall with the theme to connect with three of the world's great religions and to pay homage at each of the religious sites that he's visiting but to highlight the theme that we have to be united against the enemies of all civilized people and we have to be joined together with an agenda of tolerance and moderation. >> i just want to try to dig into the details of this reporting of the president's conversations with the russians. are you denying that he revealed information that was given to the u.s. by an intelligence partner? >> so, what we don't do is discuss what is and what wasn't classified. what i will tell you is in the

context of that discussion, what the president discussed with the foreign minister was wholly appropriate to that conversation and is consistent with the routine sharing of information between the president and any leaders with whom he's engaged. >> -- received from an intelligence partner? >> i'm not going to be the one to confirm that sort of information that could jeopardize our security. >> u.s. allies that do have these types of intelligence sharing relationships with the u.s. will stop providing that information? >> no, i'm not concerned at all. that conversation was wholly appropriate to the conversation, and i think wholly appropriate with what the expectations are of our intelligence partners. >> if i can follow on that, general, have you reached out to foreign partners who might have contributed such information to the u.s. and talked to them, trying to reassure them? if so, what was the reaction? >> i have not and i'm not sure what conversations have been held about that. >> general, going back to what

you were saying earlier, if there's nothing that the president shared that he shouldn't have shared, why doesn't his counter-terrorism adviser contact the nsa about what he had said? >> maybe an overabundance of caution. i'm not sure. i've not talked to mr. bosser about why he reached out. >> you would understand why there was reason to reach out? >> i was in the room. the secretary of state was in the room, as you know. the depth adviser for national security, dina powell, was in the room, and none of us felt in any way that that conversation was inappropriate. >> general, can you tell us, when was the decision made to share that information with the russians? did the president spontaneously on the spot decide to give that information over, or was there an interagency process or some formal decision making process in advance of that? >> it's wholly appropriate for the president to share whatever

information he thinks is necessary to advance the security of the american people. that's what he did. as to your question on had that information been shared previously, i'm not sure about that. >> when did he make the decision? >> when did he make the decision? he made the decision in the context of the conversation which was wholly appropriate. it's worth recapping one thing here. the president was meeting with the foreign minister about the terrorist threat. he had also raised some difficult issues. what we expected in terms of different behavior from russia in key areas like ukraine and as in syria. but then the president was emphasizing, hey, we have some common interests here. we have to work together and some critical areas. we have an area of cooperation with transnational terrorist organizations, isis in particular, an organization that had already taken down a russian airliner and murdered over 200 people in october of 2015. so this was the context of the

conversation in which it was wholly appropriate to share what the threat was as a basis for common action and coordination. >> in the moment then during the context of that conversation? >> i want to follow up about the western wall being part of israel. >> that sounds like a policy decision, you know, and that's the president's intention -- i did answer his question about what his intention is. the president's intention is to visit these religious sites, to highlight the need for unity among three of the world's great religions, unity and confronting a grave threat to all civ civilization can i finish an question that i had please? did the president reveal a setting?

i mean, the spin is the president revealed the name of the city and that gave away information that undermined an ally? >> okay. so all of you are very familiar with the threat from isis and the territory it controls. if you were to say from where do you think a threat might come from territory that isis controls, you would probably be able to name a few cities i would think. so it was -- it was nothing that you would not know from open source reporting in terms of a source of concern. and it had all to do with operations that are already ongoing and had been made public for months. >> sorry, back to my question, sir. was this information that was shared with the russians also the same content that was shared with our allies? and specific to this threat which the president says was in relation to airlines is this an imminent threat, was there a
