WNU Editor: The Office responsible for coordinating all U.S. intelligence is denying these reports .... Intelligence boss DENIES withholding secrets from the Trump White House (Daily Mail).

But I doubt that this report is true and my gut is telling me that this is just another example of the main stream media using "fake news" .... in this case the Wall Street journal .... to sell newspapers.

More denials here .... Office of Director of National Intelligence: We don't withhold intel from Trump (Politico), and here .... Intel agency denies withholding info from Trump (The Hill).
