white house spokesman sean spicer said we continue to be the fbi, the department of justice, the cia and the office of director of national intelligence all reached by cnn, they had no comment. so, jim, you talk about this didn t relate to the salacious parts of the dossier, but they were serious allegations in here. do you have any sense at this hour, what it is that u.s. investigators have corroborated, that is true in this dossier? the dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior russian officials and other russian individuals. one thing the u.s. has is a collection of foreign call intercepts, so they used that information to seek to verify that some of these alleged conversations described in the dossier took place. and u.s. intelligence officials emphasize the conversations they have now verified were solely between foreign nationals, including those tied to or inside the russian government.
