The FBI rejected a recent request by the White House to dispute media reports that Trump campaign officials had regular contacts with Russian intelligence officials before the election, CNN has reported.

The revelation comes days after White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said during a weekend television interview that senior intelligence officials assured him that there were not significant contacts between Trump advisers and Russian agents.

Priebus said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that a story in The New York Times reporting contacts by four senior Trump advisers "was total baloney."

But CNN reported Thursday, citing "multiple U.S. officials briefed on the matter," that the FBI declined to publicly corroborate Priebus despite a rare request from the White House to do so. The New York Times and CNN reported last week that Trump campaign aides and associates were in touch with Russian intel officials during the campaign.

Rep. Andr  Carson (D-Ind.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN that it "exacerbates the air of suspicion" around the administration.

The report of White House communications with the FBI during a pending investigation into Russia's influence on the 2016 presidential election could raise questions about whether the contacts violated restrictions established to insulate such probes from political influence

Obama did the same thing. Wrong then and wrong now.

I wonder how long it will be before he gets caught spying on reporters.

Really? It looks to me like Wing and I are not ashamed to punch you Snowflake Hitlary voters in the face on any thread that we feel like. We are not hiding in any section of the forum nor are we asking for our own place.

BTW, the World Workers Party site has some great Trump bashing pieces you can post so you can show everyone what a troll you are with mother issues.

This is simply CNN's latest salvo in the War on Trump.


FBI refused White House request to knock down recent Trump-Russia stories

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/23/politics/fbi-refused-white-house-request-to-knock-down-recent-trump-russia-stories/index.html

CNN has previously reported that there was constant communication between high-level advisers to then-candidate Trump, Russian officials and other Russians known to US intelligence during the summer of 2016.

Of course, the only way they could "know" this is via leaks from our spies; and the spies could be (most likely are) liars. But, once again, it's not the truth that matters, it's the seriousness of the charge.

Deny what? Try to understand the big picture here, Mr Weird. Trump does not posses the "rollover" gene in his DNA.

Anyhow, isn't there a town hall for you to attend?
