Russia's response to Trump leak reports: don't read U.S. newspapers
Tue May 16, 2017 | 7:26am EDT
A Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Tuesday advised that people don't read American newspapers, in response to U.S. media reports that President Donald Trump had disclosed classified intelligence at a meeting with Russian officials.
The spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said she had received dozens of messages asking about the reports, which have been denied by the White House.
"Guys, have you been reading American newspapers again?" she wrote on her Facebook page. "You shouldn't read them. You can put them to various uses, but you shouldn't read them. Lately it's become not only harmful, but dangerous too."

(16,423 posts)They only report on the original WP-article (with link) and McMaster's denial (no link). That's it.
No mention how McMaster's statement contained a big hole.
No mention that it wasn't just the Washington Post.
