Trump was referring to recent reports that information he gave to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak endangered the life of an Israeli spy embedded deep in ISIS.
In addition to his denial, Trump also told Netanyahu that intelligence cooperation between the two allies is "terrific." Instead, according to Trump, it's another story the media has gotten wrong.
