Trump keeps lying when he says Comey released classified information. Trump released classified information to Russian diplomats in the White House. Now, he has released an apparently classified picture of Iranian military installations.
Trump’s pro-Russia policies, attacks on our allies and reckless release of classified information is going to make it less likely that other countries will provide intelligence information to the US. Trump is making us less safe. Sad!
