Trump waded into the information war on Monday, tweeting that the "Kurds may be releasing some [Islamic State prisoners] to get us involved"—an accusation that U.S. officials said is baseless. "That has enraged our forces in Syria", the senior U.S. administration official said. "Kurds are still defending our bases. Incredibly reckless and dishonest thing to say".
