CIA Director Mike Pompeo will brief members of the House intelligence committee later tonight.
Pompeo will likely be grilled by lawmakers about published reports that President Donald Trump shared such highly classified information with Russian officials that it jeopardized a critical intelligence source.
Trump’s national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, says Trump’s revelation “in no way” compromised intelligence sources and methods.
The CIA wouldn’t comment on Pompeo’s schedule, but a congressional staffer said Tuesday that he was to brief the committee. The staffer, who was not authorized to discuss the meeting and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the meeting had been previously scheduled.
