BBC: Trump 'shared classified information with Russia'
BBC is quoting the Washington Post there, saying that Trump revealed classified information gathered by "a partner of the US which had not given the US permission to share it with Russia".
The president has dismissed it as "fake news" - but he dismisses everything that isn't complimentary to him as "fake news", so that says nothing of any substance.
If this is something that actually happened, then Trump has given every partner country of the USA reason to withhold information from the USA. But, hey, what's more important - the free world having a fully-functioning security system, or Trump's ego?

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
