Guess who DNC chair says is âour nationâs greatest security threatâ â TheBlaze
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez declared Tuesday that  President Donald Trump  is âour nationâs greatest security threat.â
Referring to reports that  the president  divulged classified information to Russian officials and that the leaked information came from Israeli sources  Perez said in a statement from the DNC that the Republican presidentâs actions âdirectly jeopardize our relationship with Israel and pose a security threat to our national security and risk lives  including those of our troops abroad.
Perez cited Trumpâs tweets Tuesday morning in which  the president  admitted that  he  shared with Russian officials âfactsâ related to the international fight against the Islamic State.
âAs  President  I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do  facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons  plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism â  Trump  tweeted.
