CBS: Trump administration limits sharing of North Korea intelligence with Congress

The Trump administration is drastically cutting back on who on Capitol Hill gets to see intelligence reports on North Korea's nuclear weapons program, according to multiple congressional sources.

Under the new rules, only each party's House and Senate leaders, along with chairs and ranking members of foreign relations and intelligence committees, get direct access to the reports. It is a drastic change from previous distribution of North Korea related intelligence reports which, for the most part, gave access to the entire committees and the staffers on those committees.

Fred, I have to disagree with you (little parrot - just joking).. I also don't see a stupid comment here by the above poster. Why do you lash out? Maxine Waters is a high ranking Democrat and it's either a joke or serious suggestion to put her on the committee. If you see a joke that makes you agree with Trump perhaps, that she is low IQ (which, by the way, I don't agree with -- she may have a moderate IQ, but didn't think through what she called for - incivility, tarnishing the nation and her own reputation).. if you don't see a joke, why lash out? Just be civil.
