Responding to news of Russian interference, Trump sends chilling message to U.S. intelligence community

until a permanent director is confirmed by the Senate, as a signal that Trump intends to exert more political control over the intelligence community.

Trump’s frustrations with election security were on display again when he dressed down Maguire. The president questioned him about why Russia would want to help him, arguing there was no evidence to support the claim.

A senior U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge of intelligence briefings with the president said that Trump is open to information he might not want to hear. “Our job isn’t to listen to Twitter,” the official said. “We are focused on and have to be able to explain everything that’s going on in the world.”

With colleagues from other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, Pierson has sought to broaden and elevate the discussion about foreign interference threats.
