French President Emmanuel Macron denied claims which emerged in an article published by El Mundo on Thursday.

In a joint interview aired on broadcasters France 2 and TF1 he said "We can deny this piece of information, the CIA did not inform France of this information and the Italian defence minister said the same thing".

I believe them.

Trump has been sharing intel with Putin. I doubt very much that he would allow his CIA to leak info to Putin's enemies. I doubt the people in charge of the CIA would even need to be told not to do that.

On the other hand, they may have been given the Intel via unofficial channels, and Macron is saying he didn't receive any Intel because that would endanger those channels.
