White House rejects DHS research on travel ban: report

The White House is dismissing a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intelligence report rebuffing President Trump’s claims that citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries pose an increased terror threat, the Wall Street Journal reported late Friday.

“The president asked for an intelligence assessment,” a senior administration official told the Journal. “This is not the intelligence assessment the president asked for.”

Trump administration officials claim that the report failed to include available evidence that supports the president’s Jan. 27 order barring citizens from Syria, Iraq, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia from entering the U.S.

1. the damage is already done

...they've been caught red-handed pressuring intelligence agencies, and now, these congressional Intelligence committees, to publicly spin information from an ongoing investigation into Trump and associates activities in the WH's favor.

What's more, these congressmen delivered.

9. Trump thinks he knows more than his Generals
