An associate of then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper allegedly threatened to withhold a promotion from a senior intelligence official turned whistleblower over his refusal to endorse a key assessment on allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election, a Thursday report shows.
The notes detail a 2017 conversation in which an Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) analyst was allegedly told needed to “outgrow” his refusal to sign off on assessments he hadn’t personally verified as a condition for a promotion.
“You need to trust me on this,” an official told the analyst, according to notes exclusively obtained by The Federalist.
The anonymous analyst responded by saying that he “would need to review any reporting myself in order to consider it,” according to the notes taken by the whistleblower and reviewed by The Federalist. (RELATED: REPORT: Kash Patel Discovered Thousands Of Russiagate Docs In ‘Burn Bags’)
