A White House source that told The Washington Post about President Trump revealing highly classified information to the Russians is reportedly a huge supporter of Trump, conservative blogger Erick Erickson wrote for his website, The Resurgent.

While Erickson said he tends to take such reports about the president "with a grain of salt," he added that he is convinced of this one because he knows the source is "solidly supportive of President Trump, or at least has been and was during campaign 2016."
