Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump
I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.
This is what his tantrum is about:
After the network aired a story on NBC Nightly News reporting that Russian officials celebrated Trumps victory in the 2016 election, the president-elect took to social media to accuse NBC of playing into someones political hand.
How did NBC get an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented? Who gave them this report and why? Politics! he asked.

It'll be interesting to see how the media reacts to this threat.

(6,931 posts)He wants to distract the committees -- and US -- from investigating HIM. DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH CHANGING THE FOCUS.

(19,564 posts)I also agree with everything you said. He's trying to use this as a focus, rather than what comes out in his meeting today.

(6,931 posts)will fall for it. It's up to us to keep the focus on what comes out of the committees, via whatever means we can.
