The nations's top intelligence official has informed Congress that his office will no longer give in-person election security briefings on Capital Hill, a move that raised concern among lawmakers Saturday about the public's right to know about foreign interference in the upcoming presidential election.
President donald trump said National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe made the decision because the administration "got tired" of intelligence about election security leaking from Congress.
Sen. Angus King I-Maine, said threats to the US election is "an outrage".... "American's election - indeed, our foundation of democracy itself - is under threat as we face weaponized disinformation from global foes around the planet" ... "To stifle and limit the American peoples' awareness of this fact cannot be explained - or allowed."
