CIA director: Agency isn’t hiding intelligence from Trump
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stephen Feinberg is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington on Dec. 11, 2008. The Trump administration has asked Feinberg, the founder of a New York-based private equity firm, to lead a review of the U.S. intelligence community as President Donald Trump vows to crack down on what he describes as “illegal leaks” of classified information.
WASHINGTON >> The CIA director says the agency is providing President Donald Trump with the best intelligence it can, disputing reports that the spy community is withholding information from the commander in chief.
In a statement Thursday, CIA Director Mike Pompeo says the CIA does not, has not and will never hide intelligence from the president.
He says the agency is not aware of any instance where this has occurred.
Pompeo is dismissing news reports claiming intelligence officials were keeping information from Trump, and notes the reports did not cite any examples. Pompeo says the claims damage the integrity of thousands of professional U.S. intelligence officers.

more FAKE NEWS from the Media. Can’t believe anything reported on by NYTimes, CNN, MSNBC, etc.
Exactly. And Trump blasted them today saying as much.
Good for Trump.
Maybe they were withholding the fact that Flynn was chatting illegally with the Russians.
Donald John was told there was to be an intelligence briefing , he responded, that he did not need one ,because he was already smart. Bigly
If the article is true, then that’s the worse thing the intelligence community can do. Trump is obviously not interested in the intelligence briefings, especially if the information presented doesn’t conform to, or validate his preconceived ideas and notions. Trump is more interested in attacking via Twitter, disparaging judges, and spouting spin, fake news, and alternative facts; in other words: lies.
hey kauai how would you like talking very intimately in private to your wife and you were bugged and the information was all over the neighborhood?
auwe! somebody is leaking sensitive date to the press and the press is publicizing it from these annoymous sources. even if you no like trump, think about the country.
