The Trump administration sank to a new low on Friday after it was reported that Trump’s “friend” Putin is helping Iran with intelligence that could be used against the United States.
The U.S. believes Russia has provided Iran with the locations of American forces in the Middle East, including planes and ships, according to two people familiar with the intelligence.
The alleged assistance, first reported by The Washington Post, is alarming because it would allow the Iranians to target specific locations with ballistic missiles and drones, endangering U.S. military personnel.
Any other presidential administration would have retaliated against Russia for aiding an enemy the United States is at war with, but that’s not what the White House press secretary said.
Karoline Leavitt went on Fox News and downplayed Russia helping Iran:
I’ll leave that up to the president to answer for himself, but what I’ll tell you, John, we don’t comment on intelligence reports that are leaked to the press. Whether or not this happened honestly doesn’t matter much because President Trump and the US military are absolutely decimating the rogue Iranian terrorist regime.

Leavitt blew off Russia by helping Iran, but when the story flared up, the White House press secretary tried to clear it up, but it only made things worse.
