From this WaPo article, it looks like the "program" has been in place since 2015. And, there is a lot of confusion as to who told what to whom when. A quote sums it up though "So the issue is not when the president was briefed, the person said, but rather, “now that you are aware of it, what are you going to do about it? That’s where the focus should be.”

I think both should be highlighted. In fact I think what he didn't do when the rest of us didn't know about it might be more important.
