WaPo Reports Trump Asked More Intel Officials To Help “Push Back” Against Russia Probe

President Donald Trump is in Israel, but back home, the Washington Post just released the latest anonymously sourced takedown. This time, the paper is alleging that Trump also asked two of his own appointees, National Security Agency head Mike Rogers and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, for help “pushing back” against the Russian investigation, in other word, obstructing justice.
Once again, the report relies on anonymous ‘current and former’ officials who were writing down notes of their convesations with Trump in real time in personal notebooks. WaPo reports:
‘Trump made separate appeals to the director of national intellifence, Daniel Coats, and to Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, urging them to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election.’
Trump sought their assistance after former FBI Director James Comey testified to the House Intelligence Committee on March 20 that the FB was investigating any links between the Trump campaign and Russian government, WaPo noted.
