Dishonest Headline: Trump Accused of Leaking ‘Top Secret’ Iran Video Details Shortly After Becoming Eligible to Receive Classified Briefings
Trump, as well as his Democratic counterpart Hillary Clinton, became eligible to receive classified briefings upon becoming a party’s nominee, according to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
But those briefings may not have started yet, according to Trump’s campaign manager and NBC News.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told the Washington Post that the video Trump was talking about was not classified, “merely the b-roll footage included in every broadcast.”
An undercover congressional operation exposes gaps in U.S. regulations and undermines Washington’s claim to be the best in the world at blocking this potential terrorist threat.
But this secret group of fewer than 10 people – formed in April 2014 in North Dakota, Texas, and Michigan – discovered that getting a license and then ordering enough materials to make a “dirty bomb” was strikingly simple in one of their three tries. Sellers were preparing shipments that together were enough to poison a city center when the operation was shut down.
