The Senate and House intelligence committees say the U.S.'s top intelligence official, John Ratcliffe, has agreed to resume in-person briefings on election threats after canceling them last month.

However, congressional leaders, including the top figures on the Senate and House intelligence committees, met with Ratcliffe on Wednesday and said he agreed to resume in-person briefings to the committees.

The acting chairman of the Senate committee, Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, and the top Democrat on the panel, Mark Warner of Virginia, said in a joint statement that the committee would receive"briefings, including in-person, on all oversight topics — including election matters."On the House side, Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, issued a similar statement and said he was working with Ratcliffe's office to set up a briefing.

The intelligence community and private tech companies have already announced that Russia is again trying to interfere in the election, as it did in 2016. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in August that the Russians favor Trump's reelection. And Microsoft said last week that Russian military intelligence, the GRU, was attempting to hack campaign emails, as well as political parties, political consultants and think tanks.

Will he be honest though?

How long till DJT ditches him or Barr rules he doesn't have to?

The political tug of war continues...stay tuned next week when someone denies something important then someone else says it is important until someone says something to someone about something.

Caputo/Radcliffe in reverse

He must realize how history will portray him when this administration loses.
