A senior counterintelligence official claims that agents working within the FBI and CIA are “thriving” under the Trump administration.  Bill Evanina, the national counterintelligence executive, says media reports referring to an alleged “drop in morale” among the intelligence community are patently false. “I don’t see a dip in morale,” he said. “The media created this morale issue.” Dailycaller.com reports: Evanina then added that the media should write a story about how the intelligence community is not actually suffering from a problem with low morale.

US President Donald Trump tells the FBI that if it is serious about stopping media leaks then it should take a closer look at home. On Friday President Trump lambasted the FBI for failing to quell leaks of classified information that could harm US security. “Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW,” Trump tweeted Friday. “The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security ‘leakers’ that have permeated our government for a long time.“ Trump tweeted last week that leakers will be caught.

After nearly a week of eerie silence in which Trump ignored the topic of "leaks" to the press by various US agencies, most notably the FBI, in his first tweets of the day the president reverted to one of his biggest peeves in recent weeks, namely how the "enemy" press continues to get inside scoops into his administration, and tore into the Federal Bureau of Investigations, following a provocative report from CNN which cited "unnamed sources" according to whom the White House tried to urge the FBI to dispute accounts of regular contact between the Trump 2016 presidential campaign and Russia

John Podesta has accused “forces within the FBI” of helping Donald Trump win the US election.

US intelligence officials from the CIA and FBI claim that allegations that the Trump Administration have ties to Russia are “grossly overstated” and “completely wrong”. According to White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, rumors about Trump having ties to Russia are based on pure fantasy. “I can assure you, the top levels of the intelligence community have assured me that [the allegation] is not only grossly overstated, but also wrong,” Priebus told Fox News Sunday. “They have made it very clear that the story is complete garbage,” he said.
