CNN’s Kaitlan Collins to Trump: Are You Relying On Israeli Intelligence On Iran?

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked President Trump what intelligence he is relying on to make decisions regarding Iran’s nuclear program, during a press conference Wednesday at the NATO summit n the Netherlands:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Oh, fake news CNN. Oh yeah, yeah, here we go. Wait till you hear this question. You should really say how great our soldiers and our warriors are. KAITLAN COLLINS: I think everyone appreciates our soldiers and our warriors. I do have two questions for you, Mr. President. You just cited Israeli intelligence on these attacks. Earlier, you said U.S. intelligence was inconclusive. Are you relying on Israeli intelligence for your assessment of the impact of the strikes? DONALD TRUMP: No. This is also-Iran made the statement, and it’s also, if you read the document that was given-that we can talk about, if you’d like. The document said it could be very severe damage, but they didn’t take that. They said it could be limited, or it could be very severe. They really didn’t know, other than to say it could be limited or it could be very, very severe. And you didn’t choose to put that because it was very early after. Since then, we’ve collected additional intelligence. We’ve also spoken to people who have seen the site, and the site-the site is obliterated. And we think everything nuclear is down there. They didn’t take it out.
