President Donald Trump's handling of classified information has come under scrutiny following reports he divulged "highly classified" information during a meeting with Russian officials last week at the White House.

The president, though, has a history of routinely lashing out at political opponents, detractors and even former members of his own administration for mishandling closely guarded intelligence in the past.


Here are nine times Trump has slammed others for their handling of classified information.

1. Trump accuses Yates of leaking classified intelligence

"Ask Sally Yates, under oath, if she knows how classified information got into the newspapers soon after she explained it to W.H. Counsel," Trump tweeted on May 8, following Yates' testimony before Congress on Russian election interference and potential ties to the Trump administration.


2. Trump calls for leakers in federal government to be found

"The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now!" the president said on social media in response to continuing coverage of the ongoing probe into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.



3. Trump calls for increased scrutiny of 'illegal leaks'

After Attorney General Jeff Sessions' March recusal from the Trump-Russia investigation, the president said on Twitter that the "real story" was rather "all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total 'witch hunt!'"




4. Trump: Classified information given to media 'could have a devastating effect on U.S.'

Trump slammed the FBI on Twitter in late-March following reports that Chief of Staff Reince Priebus had asked the bureau to push back on negative stories tying Trump campaign associates and Russia. The president said the FBI was "totally unable" to stop leakers and said the result "have a devastating effect on U.S."



5. Trump calls on The New York Times to apologize for publishing 'illegal classified' leaks

After new reports of contacts between Trump campaign and Russian officials, the president demanded that the Times apologize for unearthing relevant details.



6. Trump: Classified intel given out 'like candy'

After new reports of contacts between Trump campaign and Russian officials, the president said the "real scandal" was that "classified information is illegally given out by intelligence like candy."


7. Trump accuses State Department of seeking to 'cover up classified emails' for Clinton

In the throes of a heated general election bout, Trump cited a Washington Examiner article accusing the State Department of "quid pro quo" as part of an attempt to cover up details regarding the Hillary Clinton email controversy.


8. Trump, hailing WikiLeaks, rips 'Crooked' Clinton for her handling of classified information

Following the release of a trove of emails from the Hillary Clinton campaign through WikiLeaks, then-candidate Trump blasted "Crooked" Clinton for mishandling intelligence while in office.


9. Trump: Clinton 'not fit' for presidency due to 'extremely careless' handling of intel

Trump, just weeks out from officially clinching the Republican nomination at the Republican National Convention in July, said Clinton was "not fit" for office due to her "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

Fake news, Trump didn't do this and there were eyewitnesses who swear to it. I love how you liberals swoon and fawn over anything the fake news outlets who are simply looking at a way to hit at Trump -- true or fake -- just gobble up what they say as gospel truth. Unbelievable!

And you'd be wrong, Rev. Dittohead. The more President Manchild continues to rant and rave like a spoiled little boy who needs to have things go his way, the worse it's going to get.

Baloney. The only sources that these liberals are throwing around are described as "anonymous." Anonymous sources cited by newspapers who DEFINITELY have an agenda and narrative that they have been putting forth for years? If you believe those sources, then it would be YOU who would be wrong.

Swillary shouldn't have been running, but the reason she was the nominee, and not Bernie Sanders, was because the media was already very familiar with her dating back to her husband's administration. They were hoping she'd be the antidote to Dumb Donald, but she wasn't.

Here's a problem I have. You have two 3rd party candidates also vying for the office, but they were never permitted to participate in the debates, largely because they'd take face time away from Swillary and Dumb Donald. The networks didn't want that. That particular system needs improvement.

Wait a minute. What is all this immature, name-calling stuff you do here? It is NOT clever, it is NOT funny, and it is demeaning not only to the people you are referring to but to yourself. It is not good sarcasm, just immature. You do this way, way too often.

It really isn't hard to spell, "Breitbart" which is something I don't read, BTW.

Trump is there. The NSA is there. WaPo, the NYT, CNN -- NOT there. Unnamed, anonymous sources ALWAYS! And you believe THEM? Comic books aren't true, fables aren't true and the narratives that CNN, WaPo and the NYT put out are nothing but fairy tales. They should introduce each and every story they put out with "Once upon a time."

keep living in your fantasy world. I think in your world it begins "Once upon a time, the man I blindly follow as president wasn't a treasonous coward." Here in the real world, he is. Keep listening to your garbage sources Skipster. This is going to be fun.

Or because one's a crackpot anti-vaxxer who thinks we can just
close all our international military bases just like that, and the
other is a leatherfaced isolationist offering Reaganomics with a
side of legal weed.

More established is more like it. Sanders came out of nowhere, whereas Swillary had years of experience, and it was on name alone that she was a carpetbagging senator from NY and secretary of state. I call it like I see it, yo.

Bernie had no platform outside of economics, ignored the south the
way he claimed Clinton ignored the midwest, was stunningly tone
deaf when it came to minority outreach and did nothing to convince
the Democrat base that he was anything other than a DINO.

And if you think Cult 45 brought their misogyny A-Game against
Clinton, what you think they'd do about a Jewish socialist?
