“There’s nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American people. The story that came out tonight, as reported, is false. The president and the foreign minister [Sergey Lavrov] reviewed a range of common threats to our two counties, including threats to civil aviation,” McMaster told reporters last night.

But we’ll see if he sticks to that version of events.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s daily briefing has been made into an off-camera briefing today, which is strange. So whatever McMaster says publicly in just a short while will be the face of this latest scandal.

Update 11:55am ET: McMaster doesn’t back down from his characterization that yesterday’s story was false.
