In yet another late-day bombshell from the mainstream media via anonymous sourcing, The Washington Post reported that President Trump directly asked Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats and National Security Agency head Admiral Mike Rogers to “publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election.” The request reportedly came after FBI director James Comey testified before Congress that the FBI “was investigating ‘the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s effort.”
Coats and Rogers both refused the president’s request, according to the “current and former officials.” The officials said that Coats and Rogers “both deemed [the requests] to be inappropriate.” This raises the question as to why they didn’t resign or make public Trump’s requests, the same way we still have no answers as to why Comey didn’t resign after Trump supposedly asked him if he could drop the investigation into fired National Security Advisor Mike Flynn.
