"National Security Agency (NSA) Director Mike Rogers is frustrated that he has not yet convinced President Trump that U.S. intelligence indicates Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, CNN reported Wednesday.
Rogers vented frustration over his fruitless efforts to lawmakers during a recent closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill, a congressional source familiar with the meeting told the news network.
The
intelligence community continues to brief the president on new
information on Russia's election involvement as it comes to light."...
[Ed. note: Such as what "new information?"]
(continuing): "An
intelligence official told CNN that while Trump does not seem less
engaged when being briefed on the matter, he has expressed frustration
outside of the briefings that too much attention is being paid to the
ongoing probe into Russia's interference in the election.
Russia, as well as other countries such as China, Iran and North Korea are considered potential threats by U.S. intelligence.
CNN
reported that other top administration officials have also tried to
emphasize the importance of a foreign nation attempting to meddle in the
U.S. elections.
The president has taken to social media to criticize former President Barack Obama
after a bombshell report by The Washington Post revealed his
predecessor was briefed about Russia's activities in August 2016 and was
slow to respond."...
[Ed. note: Why do you say this is a "bombshell report?"]
(continuing): ""I just heard today for the first
time that Obama knew about Russia a long time before the election, and
he did nothing about it," Trump told Fox News in an interview that aired
Sunday. "To me -- in other words -- the question is, if he had the
information, why didn't he do something about it? He should have done
something about it."
