U.S. President-elect Donald Trump gets his long-awaited briefing from intelligence agencies Friday, as he called for a congressional investigation into news leaks reporting some of their findings about Russian hacking of the presidential election before he got a chance to see them.
"I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it," Trump wrote on Twitter Friday. NBC News and the Washington Post reported Thursday evening that the report on hacking says U.S. intelligence picked up senior Russian officials celebrating Trump’s win. An unclassified public version of the report may be released later Friday.
