The kremlin throughout the election. Its a lot to ask about, a lot to dive into. In addition there are so many issues that president elect trump has yet to address about tax reform, syria, and much more. He will have an opening statement, were told, we assume about resolving conflicts of interest, and then he will answer reporters questions. We dont know if a few reporters question or a lot of reporters questions. He reacted angrily on twitter today. Thats right, we reached out to the Transition Team to get a response about the Intelligence Committee report and the briefing on friday. We did not get a statement from the trump transition. But president elect trump did issue a statement later on, talking about fake news and a political witch hunt. We werent sure if he was talking about our report or the fact that other News Organization had printed i think fairly irresponsibly an entire dossier on which some of the annex that we referred to had been based. We now await president elect tr
