"If the reports are true that President Trump shared highly classified information with Russian officials, this is the latest in a series of concerning actions that undermine the trust of our allies and compromise our national security. Intelligence sharing is crucial in the fight against terror, and this reckless disclosure jeopardizes our relationships, and our ability to win that fight. Americans deserve a leader who has sound judgment and respect for the work our intelligence community and allies risk their lives for."

“President Trump’s decision to disclose highly classified information without considerable thought, consultation with the intelligence community, or recognition of the consequences is deeply disturbing. The President divulged more information to the Russians than the United States has thus far shared with its allies. This action hurts the credibility of the United States, endangers sources, methods, and assets in the field—many of whom are risking their lives to keep America safe—and jeopardizes our national security.
“The timing of this leak and the circumstances surrounding the firing of Attorney General Comey, who had recently requested more resources for the ongoing investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election, must be immediately investigated by an independent commission. I urge my Republican colleagues in Congress to put country before party and fully investigate any and all ties between President Trump and Russia."

Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco, District 12)
“If news reports are true, President Trump has compromised a key source of intelligence collection against ISIS and jeopardized the security of the American people.
“Even if President Trump unwittingly blew a highly classified code-word source to the Russians, that would be dangerous enough. If the President outed a highly classified code-word source intentionally, that would be even more dangerous.
“Congress must be given a full briefing on the extent of the damage President Trump has done in compromising highly classified code-word intelligence to the Russians.”

Barbara Lee (D-Oakland, District 13)
"Two equally terrifying scenarios: either Trump leaked classified intel because he was ignorant & uniformed or because of his ties to Russia."
"The show Trump is unfit to be president. Our allies, our intel agencies & the American people all fear his erratic behavior."

Anna Eshoo (D-Silicon Valley, District 18)
“The reports that the President shared highly classified information with Russian diplomats is deeply troubling for several reasons. As a veteran of the House Intelligence Committee, I know full well the jeopardy this places our intelligence officers in; the damage this inflicts on an allied country who entrusted the U.S. with the intelligence; and how handing over the most sensitive information to the least trustworthy country - Russia - threatens our national security and our military who serve to protect us.
“The President makes the case almost daily as to why an independent, bipartisan commission is essential to investigate what ties exist between the President and Russia.”

Steve Knight (R-Santa Clarita, District 25)
