President Trump's allies have been privately critical after he said he'd consider accepting incriminating information about an opponent from a foreign government without calling the FBI, according to multiple sources.

It's really, really bad. He shouldn't say it, and if he were to do it, it would be impeachable. If a President took information from a foreign government that would be impeachable," a senior Republican source told CNN's Jamie Gangel. "This is different from the campaign.
One former adviser said the President's position needs to be corrected, but that is unlikely since on Thursday Trump defended his remark and equated it with the diplomatic meetings he holds with world leaders. "I meet and talk to 'foreign governments' every day. I just met with the Queen of England , the Prince of Whales, the P.M. of the United Kingdom, the P.M. of Ireland, the President of France and the President of Poland.
