Trump asked 2 intel chiefs to deny Russia collusion

WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump asked two top US intelligence officials in March to help push back against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into his campaign’s possible links with Russia, The Washington Post reported on Monday (Tuesday in Manila).

In the newest report suggesting the White House sought to tamp down the Russia probe, the Post said Trump urged National Security Agency chief Michael Rogers and to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats to publicly deny any evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia during last year’s presidential election.
