MSNBC: FBI Tells Reince Priebus NYT Story on Russia Contacts Is Overblown

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Yeah, let's build on that a little bit. Two sources, one at the White House and one in the Intel community tell us at 'Morning Joe' that while over at the White House on other business, deputy director McCabe asked Reince Priebus if he could set aside five minutes at the end of the meeting to discuss another topic. Priebus said yes and after the meeting McCabe took him to the side and said that 'The New York Times' reports on contacts with the Russians was overblown and not supported by any evidence that the F.B.I. had. Priebus then asked McCabe in the meeting if they could clear it up and get the information out. McCabe said he'd think about it and get back and call him. Later that afternoon, McCabe called Priebus and said, even though it was bad information, the F.B.I. didn't want to go into the record because they didn't want to get into the business."
