Trump claims intelligence delayed briefing on Russian hacking

2017-01-04 45

President-elect Donald Trump took a jab at intelligence officials on Tuesday, claiming they delayed his briefing on the Russian hacking of the U.S. election. However, according to the New York Times, a meeting was never set for Tuesday. It remains unclear whether a meeting to discuss the hacking was actually set for Tuesday or not, and why it did not occur. Trump's tweet insinuated that intelligence officials intentionally put off the meeting in effort to withhold information.
