"Coats and Rogers told investigators that Trump's request made them feel odd and uncomfortable"

[Miles Archer]

Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, and Adm. Mike Rogers, the director of the national security agency, went further in private and separate meetings with investigators in describing the president’s actions than they did in public congressional hearings earlier this month, reported CNN.

Sources told the network that both officials were surprised that Trump would suggest that they publicly declare he wasn’t involved in election collusion.

Both Coats and Rogers told investigators that the Trump’s request made them feel odd and uncomfortable, but neither official believed the president had given them orders to interfere with the Russia investigation.

Then-FBI director James Comey had privately told the president he was not under investigation, before he was fired, and one source told CNN that Coats and Rogers told investigators that Trump wanted them to say the same thing in public.
