National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien on Wednesday claimed that President Trump’s CIA briefer made the call not to share with him the intelligence referencing Russia allegedly offering bounties to Afghan militants for killing U.S. soldiers.
O’Brien, during an interview with “Fox & Friends,” was asked about the bombshell New York Times report that said Trump was briefed on the bounties and that he did nothing about it. He maintained that the president “was not briefed.”
TRUMP CLAIMS RUSSIA BOUNTY STORY A 'HOAX,' AS CONTROVERSY MOUNTS
“The president was not briefed because, at the time of these allegations, they were uncorroborated,” O’Brien said, noting that the Pentagon also has said the intelligence was uncorroborated.
“The intelligence community doesn’t have a consensus,” O’Brien continued. “And as a result, the president’s career CIA briefer decided not to brief him because it was unverified intelligence.”
The CIA briefer O’Brien was referring to would have been Beth Sanner, who was the president’s primary intelligence briefer during the time in question when the Russia bounty intelligence emerged. Sanner was appointed as the deputy director of National Intelligence for Mission Integration last year. Sanner had been leading the president’s daily intelligence briefing since April 2017.
O’Brien defended Sanner as “an outstanding officer.”
______________________________________________________________________ Offtrail this should end your argument about the bounty story printed by the NY times as being another fake news to ding Trump.
Here you have the National Security Advisor putting his reputation on the line by stating this. What does the NY times have to back up their story. Oh that's right, they have their famous anonymous sources. Just like their source for the Russian collusion that was proven to be false. Just like Adam Schiff's anonymous source on the so called phone call and numerous other hit pieces using the famous anonymous sources that never come forward.
If you waste any more time on this matter, you do have a problem with TDS.
