A recent National Security Agency memo documents a phone call in which U.S. President Donald Trump pressures agency chief Admiral Mike Rogers to state publicly that there is no evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia, say reports.

The memo was written by Rick Ledgett, the former deputy director of the NSA, sources familiar with the memo told The Wall Street Journal. Ledgett stepped down from his job this spring.

The memo said Trump questioned the American intelligence community findings that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. American intelligence agencies issued a report early this year that found Russian intelligence agencies hacked the country’s political parties and worked to sway the election to Trump.

BS. It was a big fake news “nothingburger”. If anything, President Trump wanted these seditionist traitors to tell the truth. People need to be hanged. It is interesting this moron resigned after purported ly creating this “memo”. What a putz.

"British intelligence agencies first picked up contact between Trump’s campaign members and associates in 2015."

The usual Mediascum LIES. It is not "British intelligence agencies" -- it is one FORMER MI5 dude taking money from our Demoncraps to concoct the ludicrous "golden showers" fake dossier. This is truly all a ridiculous witch hunt, concocted by the Dems and Mediascum in a ruthless effort to take down Trump.

The story is pure garbage. First of all its from June 6th. both the Admiral and Coats testified just last week at the hearing under oath that this never happened it’s all phony, why is it even posted here.

Asking them to repeat publically the exonerating material what was already relayed privately is a problem?

“... that found Russian intelligence agencies hacked the country’s political parties ...”

Another falsehood. Only the incredibly incautious Dems were hacked.
