And, yes, I know that there has been reporting from

That's not same as confirmation from exec branch that it's so. Trump seemed to suggest it is so today, esp w "found out" & "the fact" lines.

There is wiggle room, though. "A good lawyer could make a great case," as one might say, that Trump's tweets aren't statements of fact.

I know! That's ridiculous! Yet, here we are. They could say he was simply relying on the Breitbart report, not any classified info.
