Source of claim is not one who can be easily dismissed.
President Donald Trump was said by a former CIA analyst to have requested a nuclear code during a heated exchange in a White House meeting with top national security aides on the night of Saturday, April 18.
The original source of this report, Larry Johnson, appeared on an April 20 podcast hosted by former Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano. You can watch the video below in which Johnson made the claim (fast forward to the 4:35 mark).

Let me start by saying, this is a very serious allegation from a very serious person.
Larry Johnson is not just any podcast schmuck whose claims can be summarily dismissed or ignored.
He’s a former CIA analyst who later served as deputy director of the U.S. State Department’s Office of Counterterrorism from 1989 to 1993.
Two days after the fact, Johnson’s claim is still being talked about and passed around online. When a bombshell story the deep state doesn’t want out goes viral like that, a legacy media outlet can always be counted on to run an article saying it was baseless and false. Nothing to see here, move along.
Enter Newsweek. It posted a nearly600-word articletoday, April 21, in which it quoted a “White House spokesperson” saying Johnson’s claim was false. As if any White House spokesperson would corroborate such a story even if it were true. If they had confirmed the story, I can guarantee you they’d have been fired immediately, and then crucified in the media to the extent that they’d never get another job in Washington as long as they lived.
