President Trump said Monday that he never mentioned Israel during an Oval Office meeting when he disclosed highly classified intelligence to Russian diplomats. The origin of the intelligence has never been identified.
"I never mentioned the word or the name Israel. Never mentioned during that conversation," Trump said in Jerusalem during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu said during the meeting with Trump that “intelligence cooperation is terrific” with the United States.
“It's never been better," he added.
