Intelligence community. That report comes just a day before the intel leaders brief mr. Trump on russias alleging hacking of the u. S. Elections which trump continues to downplay. Hena daniels has more. Good morning. Good morning, annemarie. Expect russias involvement in the president ial election to be a major topic. Sources tell cbs news president elect donald trump is considering a restructuring of the office of the director of national intelligence, the agency created in the wake of 9 11 to strengthen intelligence gathering. The potential revamp comes as mr. Trump continues to cast doubts on u. S. Intelligence findings that russia hacked emails. In an effort to influence the election. Just yesterday trump focused on the attacks on dnc, writing on twitter, why did they not have hacking defense like the rnc did and why have they not responded to the things they said and giving questions to the debate with hillary clinton. This is not about one Political Party or one candidate. Its a modus operandi theyve been using for years and its an assault on democracy. Less than 50 days before trump takes office, they have mounted their packet to dismantle obamacare despite lacking plan to replace it. The American People have sent new leadership because obamacare has failed. In a lastditch effort president obama huddled with Democratic Leaders on capitol hill to discuss ways to save the health care law. The plans to cut health care wouldnt make America Great again. It would make america sick again. More than 24 million americans rely on obamacare. Members of the u. S. Intelligence community will brief president obama on their highly anticipated reports into russias alleged hacking today before briefing the president elect tomorrow. Annemarie.
