Former federal prosecutor says Donald Trump is 'outsourcing our nation's security to Putin'

'The danger to our country cannot be overstated,' according to Glenn Kirschner.

On MSNBC, Kirschner referred to three"data points" in which he claimed Trump trusted Putin over U.S. intelligence. The first was when Trump insisted that Russia had not interfered in the U.S. presidential election of 2016--even though U.S. intelligence said that it did--because Putin had assured him so.

Lastly, Kirschner said that the president, while being briefed by intelligence officials about the North Korean ballistic missile threat to the U.S., said that Putin had told him something contrary to what U.S. intelligence said. Kirschner implied that Trump put more stock in Putin's words.
