On May 10, 2017, one day after firing FBI Director James Comey over “this Russia thing,” now-President Trump met with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and ambassador Sergei Kislyak in the Oval Office, where he divulged highly classified information to his Russian guests on the terrorist group Islamic State that had not even been shared with America’s closest allies.38 Trump’s supporters in Congress didn’t see anything wrong with the meeting.
