Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats in recent months saw his warnings about threats posed by Russia watered down by the White House, The New York Times reported Sunday.
According to The Times, a dossier by Coats on Russian interference in the 2018 midterms was altered by the White House to contain less critical language.
Coats has often found himself at odds with President Donald Trump over Russia, a situation that worsened in recent months.
Coats saw Russia as an adversary to the US, The Times wrote, and pushed for closer cooperation with European countries to counter it, but the White House did not agree.
Who could have imagined a time when a U.S. president acts on Russia’s behalf and against the interests of American democracy and security of our election system?
Just wow.
