Intel politicization

What national security adviser Robert O'Brien is saying about Russia briefing 'conflicts' with what lawmakers were told

National security adviser Robert O'Brien pushed back Saturday on information relayed to members of the House Intelligence Committee maintaining Russia is interfering in the 2020 election in order to benefit President Donald Trump.
O' Brien said he has seen no intelligence or analysis to support that claim, but a source told CNN that the intelligence assessment is not that cut and dry.
"The intelligence is that there is no preference right now," the official said. "Not Bernie (Sanders), not Trump," a senior national security official said.
An intelligence official has also told CNN that the initial characterization of the intelligence presented during the briefing was "misleading" -- when referring to Trump specifically.
"I've also heard that from the briefers that that's not what they intended the story to be," another source said.
In an interview with ABC News, O'Brien said he had not seen any intelligence indicating Russia is attempting to assist Trump in the 2020 election. That assertion from O'Brien "conflicts" with what intelligence committee members were told at the briefing, the source said.
