MSNBC: Clapper Tells Trump Buzzfeed Dossier Is Not a U.S. Intel Community Product

BRZEZINSKI: “We'll begin this morning with the fractured relationship between Donald Trump and the intelligence community. Also the media. We'll get to that. Last night the Director of National Intelligence James clapper spoke with Trump to allay the President-elect’s concerns about the leaks to the media regarding a report that Russia allegedly has damaging material on him. Clapper said in a statement about the conversation, quote, 'I emphasized that this document is not a U.S. Intelligence Community product and I do not believe the leaks came from within the IC. The IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions. However, part of our obligation is to ensure that policymakers are provided with the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security.’ That conversation came hours after Trump’s news conference where he openly wondered whether the U.S. Intelligence Community was responsible for the leaks.”
