This reporter live tweeted Trump's White House going into total meltdown

It has been reported by the Washington Post that United States President Donald Trump allegedly revealed classified information about Isis to the Russian foreign minister during a White House meeting last week.

The information was reportedly revealed by the President in the Oval Office, and was said to have been provided to the US by an American ally through a sensitive intelligence sharing arrangement.

H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, said in a brief statement that the story was "false":

The president and the foreign minister reviewed common threats from terrorist organizations to include threats to aviation.

At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed, and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly.

He later said:

The story that came out tonight as reported, is false.

I was in the room. It didn't happen.

Senior Republican senator John McCain said the allegations were "disturbing" if correct:

We certainly don't want any president to leak classified information but the president does have the right to do that.

The story has been interpreted by the media as indicative of a White House that cannot control the incompetent disclosures and boasting of its President.

BuzzFeed News' White House correspondent, Adrian Carrasquillo, live tweeted the fallout from the Washington Post story in the White House briefing pack as it happened.

At first the administration tried to act unconcerned:

Before the meeting which was the centre of Twitter's attention:

In February, Donald Trump heavily criticised staff in his White House who disclosed classified information:

The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by intelligence like candy. Very un-American.
