US spies warned their Israeli counterparts that Russia may have “levers of pressure” over Donald Trump and told them to be careful about sharing intelligence with the White House in case it was passed on to the Kremlin, according to Israeli media reports.

The American intelligence officials reportedly told the Israelis not to share sensitive information with Mr Trump’s aides until the incoming president’s relationship with Russia had been fully investigated.

The claim was made in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth and cannot be confirmed.



A spokesman for Benjamin Netanyahu did not respond to a request for comment, and the CIA also declined to comment.

But if true it underscores the extraordinary state of relations between Mr Trump and US intelligence, with American spies openly warning foreign allies that the new president may be compromised by Russia. .............................................

1. In public asking Russia to spy on your political opponent what more do you need to know?

There is nothing covert or deep about Donald Trump. I wish people would stop hedging words about this traitor.

4. the other word that needs to be said more often is incompetent

2. if he is such a danger, they need to leak more specifics to force Republicans' hand

and get the impeachment ball rolling.

What do they think they can get under Trump that they can't get under Pence?
