NBC: FBI’s Comey Told Trump About Russia Dossier After Intel Briefing
President-elect Donald Trump was informed about the existence of the unverified allegations against him about Russian ties after last Friday's Intel briefing at Trump Tower on alleged Russian hacking, U.S. officials told NBC News.
A senior U.S. official said that it was FBI Director James Comey himself who pulled Trump aside after the briefing and spoke with him one-on-one about the so-called "dossier," 35 pages of memos prepared by a former British spy for an anti-Trump client prior to last year's election.
As NBC News has previously reported, Trump was not told about the contents of the dossier during the formal briefing.

Update: FBI director briefed Trump on dossier: reports (The Hill)
WNU Editor: This is hilarious. If these reports are true .... no one wanted to face the President-elect and tell him about the Russian dossier. And it looks the FBI Director pulled the short straw.

Come on...? How many people would you like to have involved in a conversion regarding your use of prostitutes? Sounds reasonable to me for that conversation to be kept on the DL, being between as few people as possible. Everyone else in the room already knew the information - no reason to scarlet letter the PEOTUS and put him on the defensive with unverified info.
On a side note: it is very useful for a detective to have information provided to a person both publicly AND privately to gauge their differing responses...
Matthew. I am laughing at the 4 top intel officials on how they made the decision on who was to tell Trump about the dossier. Like I said .... I have to wonder if they actually drew straws to find out who was the sucker who had to deliver that news.
