[JtN] President Donald Trump on Thursday released a trove of declassified intelligence documents that his administration says expose long-suspected vulnerabilities in U.S. election infrastructure, in addition to alarming intelligence pointing to prior administrations' and officials' knowledge of such issues that were kept from the president, Congress and the American people.
"The intelligence community withheld information from his president's daily brief. That's a big deal. That's where the intelligence community gives him the absolute most classified data, what he needs to know for that day, and frankly, during his first term, they withheld it. That is a black mark on the intelligence community," Rep. Keith Self, R-Tex., told Just The News.
Self continued, "They should be charged because they hold positions of great responsibility, and they have violated our trust. They have violated the actual agreements that they sign when they get that level of classified data, so this is very, very easily charged and indicted." |
