Watergate reporter Bob Woodward said President Trump should welcome an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election if he believes nothing occurred.

"If Trump is correct, [and] he thinks there is no collusion and nothing here, he should welcome a full investigation,” Woodward said in an appearance on “CBS This Morning” on Friday. “That Post story showed that he just does not agree with the overwhelming conclusion of the intelligence community.”

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump’s daily intelligence briefings are set up in an effort to avoid upsetting him. A former senior intelligence official told the Post that intelligence about Russia was presented to Trump only in the written intelligence assessment and is sometimes altered to try to avoid displeasing him.

“If you talk about Russia, meddling, interference — that takes the PDB off the rails,” a second former senior U.S. intelligence official told the Post about Trump’s daily briefing.
