Report: Intelligence officials withhold information from Trump due to trust issues
U.S. intelligence officials have been withholding information from U.S. President Donald Trump due to a concern about the president’s trustworthiness. According to the source cited in the report, this is the first time that sensitive information has been withheld from a president due to this reason.
A day after U.S. President Donald Trump accused members of the intelligence community of leaking information to the media, it turns out that the lack of trust between the sides is even more serious. According to the Wall Street Journal, U.S. intelligence officials stated today (Thursday) that CIA officials have been keeping sensitive information from Trump because they fear that the information will be leaked.
According to intelligence sources, the decision to withhold information from the U.S. president emphasizes the deep trust issues between the intelligence community and Trump, which have increased due to his
close advisers’ communications with the Russian government.
According to the report, intelligence officials chose to withhold the names of sources and the methods used to obtain the information in some instances. Some of the methods that the CIA chose to omit from the presidential briefings included the methods that were used to spy on foreign governments.
According to current and former U.S. intelligence officials, the decision has been made in the past to withhold some details about their operations from the president or Congress members. However, they claimed that these decisions have never been based on a concern about a president’s trustworthiness. Nevertheless, the sources said that they do not know whether the details about any serious security concerns have been withheld from Trump.
“There is nothing that leads us to believe that this is an accurate account of what is actually happening,” said a senior level White House official in response to the report.
