The Trump administration hit a new low point Friday after it was reported that Trump’s “friend” Putin was helping Iran by providing intelligence that could be used against the United States.
ABC News reported:
The United States believes Russia has provided Iran with the locations of U.S. troops in the Middle East, including planes and ships, according to two sources familiar with the intelligence.
The alleged assistance, first reported by The Washington Post, is alarming because it would allow the Iranians to target specific locations with ballistic missiles and drones, thereby endangering the U.S. military.
Any other presidential administration would have retaliated against Russia for aiding an enemy the United States is at war with, but that’s not what the White House press secretary said.

Karoline Leavitt went on Fox News and downplayed Russia’s aid to Iran:
I’ll let the president respond himself, but what I will tell you, John, is that we don’t comment on intelligence reports that are leaked to the press. Whether this happened or not, frankly, doesn’t really matter because President Trump and the US military are completely decimating the rogue Iranian terrorist regime.

Leavitt blew up the idea that Russia was helping Iran, but as the story exploded, the White House press secretary tried to set the record straight, but made things worse.
