And that is drawing a strong reaction by some in the intelligence community. Here is peter alexander. Reporter donald trump defiant, today lashing out at the cias analysis that russia intervened in the election to help him win. I dont believe it. I think its just another excuse. Reporter the president elect only attended a handful of daily briefings. Im a smart person. I dont have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years. Reporter Intelligence Experts dispute that explanation. Its not like every piece of intelligence or every report is the same sort of type of assessment. Reporter tonight trump is also touting his expected pick of Ceo Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. Hes more than just an exbusinessman. Hes a world class player. He does massive deals in russia.
