Dem Rep. David Cicilline: ‘This President Is a National Security Risk’

‘It seems he doesn’t take seriously the security measures that are in place’

EXCERPT:

CICILLINE: "Well, it’s significant. This President is a national security risk. It seems he doesn’t take seriously the security measures that are in place. Don't forget, this is someone who shared classified information with the Russians about ongoing operations while meeting with them in the Oval Office. He was at a public meeting with President Xi at Mar-a-Lago, and he uses an unsecure phone, and there has been reporting that intelligence is picking that up, the Chinese and the Russian intelligence agencies. So this seems like a president who doesn’t understand the dangers of these kinds of breaches. To have a Chinese national with no explanation, with a thumb drive on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago who lied about why she’s there. We still don’t know all the circumstances. But this is very alarming. This is where the President is with the key leaders in his Administration and we should all be concerned about that kind of a breach."
