Trump asked the heads of intelligence agencies to deny his "ties with Russia"
President Donald trump asked the two senior leaders of the intelligence of the government to publicly refute the evidence of cooperation between his campaign and Russia during the elections of 2016.
Trump spoke with the Director of national intelligence Dan Coates and Director of the national security Agency Admiral Michael Rogers after in March, FBI Director James Comey announced that the Bureau has started an investigation of an alleged conspiracy.
The dismissal of the Komi Republic and the subsequent Declaration that he was fired due to Russian intrigue deepens probe into alleged links between campaign trump and Russia. Trump, in his first major trip abroad as President, sought to get rid of destructive political drama was intensified by the appointment last week, special counsel Robert Muller.
The President's address to the Komi Republic has raised questions about whether he abused his authority by trying to discredit the FBI investigation or risk creating the impression that he obstructed justice. The white house declined to comment on details of trump contacts with Rogers and Coates, which first reported The Washington Post.
"The white house did not confirm or refute the unfounded allegations based on illegal leaks from anonymous individuals," said a White house spokesman, who refused to call him. Coates and Rogers should be brought before Congress this week, but not before the intelligence committees of the house of representatives or of the Senate, who conduct a separate investigation of Russian interference in the elections.
