Trump's disclosure endangered spy placed inside ISIS by Israel, officials say
Source: ABC News
The life of a spy placed by Israel inside ISIS is at risk tonight, according to current and former U.S. officials, after President Donald Trump reportedly disclosed classified information in a meeting with Russian officials last week.
The spy provided intelligence involving an active ISIS plot to bring down a passenger jet en route to the United States, with a bomb hidden in a laptop that U.S. officials believe can get through airport screening machines undetected. The information was reliable enough that the U.S. is considering a ban on laptops on all flights from Europe to the United States.
The sensitive intelligence was shared with the United States, officials say, on the condition that the source remain confidential.
The real risk is not just this source, said Matt Olsen, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center and an ABC News contributor, but future sources of information about plots against us.

Now, it's beyond embarrassment. It's the almost certain knowledge that he'll blurt out something dangerous to America, and to the world.
