Trump says CIA report that Russia helped his electoral win is “ridiculous”
4 senators: Post’s reporting regarding foreign meddling “should alarm every American.”

Cyrus Farivar - Dec 11, 2016

President-elect Donald Trump has continued to flaunt reported assessments by the CIA that the Russian government specifically helped his campaign win the presidential election, calling them “ridiculous.” One of Trump’s top advisors, Kellyanne Conway, also dubbed them “laughable and ridiculous” on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

During the same interview, Trump also reportedly said that as president he would not receive the top-secret President’s Daily Briefing. Currently, the president-elect is reportedly only receiving it once a week.

Trump continued in his interview with Fox News Sunday that Vice President-elect Mike Pence, would receive the PDB in his place, largely because Trump finds it too repetitive.

You know, I’m, like, a smart person,” he said. “I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.”

The PDB, President’s Daily Briefing — “Trump finds it too repetitive”. Sheesh.

Bolding added for Charles’ point.
