>> general mctkpwaft aster, you yesterday and said that the "washington post" story came out late yesterday afternoon was false. do you think on that assertion, 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? >> no. i stand by my statement that i made yesterday. what i'm saying is really the premise of that article is false. in any way that the president had a conversation in any way that was inappropriate or a lapse in national security. so i think the real issue and i think what i would like to see debated more is national security has been at risk by those violating confidentialitity and those releasing information to the press that could be used connected with other information available to make american citizens and others more vulnerable.

>> -- prime minister netanyahu will join president trump at the western wall.

>> i have not. and i'm not sure what conversations have been held about that. >> what you were saying earlier -- if there was nothing that the president shared that he shouldn't have shared, why did his counterterrorism adviser contact the nsa and cia about what he said? >> i would say from an overabundance of caution. but i'm not sure. i've not talked to him about that why he reached out. >> typically you would understand there was a reason to reach out. >> i was in the room. the secretary of state was in the room. the deputy assistant -- the deputy adviser for national security, dina powell, for strategy, was in the room. and none of us felt that that conversation was inappropriate. >> when was the decision made to share that information with the russians? did the president on the spot decide to give that information over? or was there a process or
