Washington — National security adviser Robert O'Brien said Wednesday that the senior career CIA officer who briefs President Trump in person made the decision not to verbally brief him on intelligence about a Russian scheme to offer bounties targeting American troops in Afghanistan, saying she lacked confidence in the veracity of the intelligence.
"We get raw intelligence and tactical intelligence every day, hundreds of pieces of intelligence come in every day, thousands of pieces of intelligence come in a week," he said."She made that call and, you know what, I think she made the right call, so I'm not going to criticize her. And knowing the facts that I know now, I stand behind that call."
Story continuesWhite House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Tuesday the president has since been briefed"on what is unfortunately in the public domain." "The DOD came out and said as soon as we had this information, we made sure that we had tactics in place, that we took protective measures, to look after our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines in Afghanistan. That hasn't been reported. That was done right," he said.
Does anyone really believe anything coming out of this WH?
Another lie by our anything but journalists/ MSM.
Yet everyone on Twitter has known since at least Sunday, are we all more informed than trump? Wtf are they even trying to say? At the very least he's known for days, and his response is to say 'hoax...told ya noone told me'
Booooooooooooollsheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Trump lied. Americans died.
Oh, yeah, another version, this time blaming the CIA again. It's almost as if a person in a position of great power years ago reached the emotional maturity of The Terrible Twos, decided 'Why bother making life easier for anyone else?', and terrorized anyone not praising him.
So the CIA is more powerful than the president. Got it. We found the real deep state, you crazies.
That's a lie.
Somebody is a big fat liar.

Trump still not briefed on reports Russia put bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan: WHJoe Biden on reported Russian bounties: 'The idea that somehow [Pres. Trump] didn't know or isn't being briefed—that is a dereliction of duty...and if he was briefed and nothing was done about this, that's a dereliction of duty.' Trump's oblivious to everything going on it's never his fault. he always attacks ppl and plays victim he has no accountability. His admin sent billions to Iran despite them blowing up Americans in Iraq. Dereliction is better than Treason.
