Reporting to a director of National Intelligence. An office created back in 2004. The president elect as first reported is now talking about challenging it. An idea his vp spoke about yesterday on capitol hill.

Reporter this was the president today gets a look at what the Intelligence Community has learned about russian meddling in the election. Trump gets a similar briefing tomorrow but he has made his skepticism clear. As Congress Hears today from intelligence officials about russia the white house is making clear the administrations displeasure with trump. There is a stark line thats been drawn.
