good evening. another day, another bombshell out of washington. late today we learn that president trump allegedly asked the now-fired fbi director james comey to end his investigation into the former national security adviser michael flynn. this comes on the heels of reports that the president shared confidential intelligence with the russians. abc's david wright is covering these fast-moving developments tonight. >> reporter: tonight at the white house, controversy on two fronts. >> it's totally improper. >> stun, breathtaking revelat n revelation. >> reporter: "the new york times" reports in february, the president personally asked the fbi director, james comey, to go easy on national security adviser michael flynn. a source close to comey tells abc news the fbi director wrote himself a memo in february, the day after flynn was fired, for lying about his conversations with the russian ambassador.

the president allegedly told comey, according to the source, "he's a good guy, i hope you can let this go." comey didn't. >> comey's memos are especially significant because this is what he wrote in realtime. immediately following his conversations with the president. >> reporter: abc news has not seen comey's memo, neither has "the new york times." those sources did confirm its existence. tonight the white house is pushing back insisting the "times" story is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the conversation. insisting the president has never asked mr. comey or anyone else to end any investigation. some democrats on the hill say this raises serious questions of obstruction of justice, an impeachable offense. >> that is the fundamental question, is anyone, including the president of the united states, above the law? >> did you reveal classified information to the russians? >> reporter: this new controversy hot on the heels of another one. >> mr. president, did you share

classified intelligence information with the rugs? >> thank you very much. >> reporter: one that broke last night, an explosive scoop by "the washington post." that president trump was loose-lipped about highly sensitive intelligence matters at his meeting last week with the russian foreign minister, boasting about his inside kn knowledge of the looming threat. the president's men now in full damage control mode. >> i stand by my statement i made yesterday. what i'm saying is the premise of that article is false. >> reporter: the president's allies, not happy. >> i think it would be helpful to have less drama. emanating from the white house. >> this is a white house in chaos right now. they are trying to fend off this leak story. this falls on the heels of that bungled firing of the fbi director. not at all what this white house wants to be dealing with right now. >> reporter: the sensitive intelligence the president is accused of sharing has to do with an active isis plot to hide bombs in laptop computers, able to avoid detection by

last night the president's national security adviser, h.r. mcmaster, denied the story. >> there's nothing the president takes more seriously than the security of the american people. the story that came out tonight as reported is false. >> reporter: then, first thing this morning, the president confirmed he shared secrets with the russians in a series of tweets. 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. leaving it to mcmaster today to explain his rationale. >> so this was the contech xt o the conversation in which it was wholly appropriate to share what the threat was as the basis for common action and coordination. >> did the white house make this story better today or worse? >> every time there's some dramatic moment out of the white house, everybody scurries around to try to fix it, they tend to

>> legally the president seems on safe ground. >> legally he's in the clear. the president can declassify anything he wants to. if he wants to tell them nuclear codes, i suppose the president has the right to do that. but it's a judgment call on whether that was wise to tell the russians. >> reporter: but these weren't american secrets the president was sharing, classified at code word clearance, the highest level. more secret than top secret. these were secrets the u.s. learned from a friendly foreign government, israel. that might not sit so well with the israelis. >> i think they're probably scratching their heads saying, okay, can we tell him what we need to tell him? or should we be a little more careful about this? >> reporter: the meeting with the russian foreign minister was already a political hot potato coming one day after the firing of fbi director james comey. who was investigating russia's efforts to meddle in the november election. >> which includes whether there was any coordination between people associated with the t

>> reporter: the morning after, trump abruptly fired comey. there he was, looking chummy with the russian foreign minister. and the russian ambassador. the same russian ambassador whose conversations with national security adviser michael flynn ultimately helped get flynn fired. the press corps, barred from the room, only a kremlin photographer and an official trump administration photographer allowed to capture the scene. are the russians laughing about all of this? >> i think the russians are probably definitely laughing about all of this. >> reporter: today the president invoked comey's name in his own defense, suggesting the problem isn't what he told the russians, but rather, what leakers inside the room disclosed to the "post." i have been asking director comey and others to find the leakers in the intelligence community, he tweeted. the irony of that statement not lost on democrats in congress. >> here he is new releasing real secrets directly to the russians?

and the irony of that is pretty astounding. >> reporter: during the campaign trump went after hillary clinton hammer and tongs. >> we can't have someone in the oval office who doesn't understand the meaning of the word "confidential" or "classified." >> reporter: over her careless use of a private e-mail server for sensitive government business. >> this is like watergate. only it's worse. >> reporter: now, however his team tries to spin it, it only seems to tangle things further. >> the president wasn't even aware of where this information came from. he wasn't briefed on the source or method of the information either. >> in a week full of revelation after revelation, on a day when we thought things couldn't get any worse, they have. >> reporter: and it's not just a political problem. >> one cost of this episode is that isis now knows that there's an intelligence source in a

building bombs in laptops. >> reporter: tonight abc news has confirmed israel does have a spy in raqqah who infiltrated isis and whose life could now be in jeopardy. >> the real risk is not just this source, but future sources of information about plots against us. >> reporter: add to that the new scandal about the comey memo and trump could be in real trouble. this weekend at the president's commencement speech at liberty university, we met several trump supporters who aren't entirely comfortable with the way he fired comey. >> it certainly looks like obstruction of justice. >> i don't think the actual decision was a poor decision, just the way he went about it was poor. >> i am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. there's two narratives to -- to what's going on out there. so the disappointing part is what side do you follow, which one's the truth, you know. we all just want the truth. >> reporter: the republican chair of the house oversight committee sent a letter to the fb

notes, summaries and recordings having to do with comey and the president. >> we're going to need to see evidence. do the tapes exist? do the transcripts exist? does the memo exist? >> i don't want to read a memo. i want to hear from him. >> you want him to testify publicly? >> yes. >> have you invited him? >> i just did. >> reporter: two huge stories, both of them cause for concern. just as the president gets ready to head out on the first foreign trip of his presidency. i'm david wright for "nightline" in new york. next, jason derulo trumpets his new clothing line. the inspiration for his futuristic styles. and later, john goodman's moment of humility at the cast of "roseanne" announces a tv comeback. with a less intense taste. so it has the bad breath germ-killing power of this...
