U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.
The officials’ decision to keep information from Mr. Trump underscores the deep mistrust that has developed between the intelligence community and the president over his team’s contacts with the Russian government, as well as the enmity he has shown toward U.S. spy agencies. On Wednesday, Mr. Trump accused the agencies of leaking information to undermine him.
In some of these cases of withheld information, officials have decided not to show Mr. Trump the sources and methods that the intelligence agencies use to collect information, the current and former officials said. Those sources and methods could include, for instance, the means that an agency uses to spy on a foreign government.

Just look on Hillary’s private server.
It will be there.
If this is true, they should be executed got high treason in time of war.
I said elsewhere to cut their budget in April when the continuing resolution comes up for renewal by 10-20%. Maybe Trump should go for 40%.
Its absolutely NOT the right of spooks and political climbers at any agency to decide what they release to the elected President of the USA
Do your job, or get fired - or jailed as traitors
They’ve bitten off more than they can chew. They don’t know it yet.
Very devious. The intelligence community leaks information, blames it on Trump’s team, then claims they can’t share information with Trump because it leaks.
This is a dangerous game and needs to be stopped ASAP.
Fire them.
Can he just fire everyone at the CIA like Reagan firing the Air Traffic Controllers?
That would be epic swamp draining.
This is coming from the higher ups, who are I bet in contact with the likes of Brennan, obama etc.
The time to fumigate Obama’s “intelligence community” has come. Weed out the ‘RAT spies and moles. Do it now!
Bring them in to an interrogation room one by one, get full disclosure while wired up. If they don’t cooperate, strip them of their clearance and deny them access to any secure facility. That will cost them their job and more. Trump needs to start hanging people, figuratively, of course.
Speaking of Hillary, anyone note how absent she seems to be since the inauguration?
This is getting way out of control. Something has got to be done NOW. Who gives them authority to withhold from the POTUS?
DRAIN THE SWAMP!
All these “leaks” and insider information come from one source and it isn’t the left or any intelligence bureau.
It just doesn’t make sense.
I am going on the record here: Trump is directly responsible for it all.
As an American, I find this unacceptable and is high treason. These people are not the POTUS and have no right to go against him.
This is treasonous. Time for the death penalty for them all.
This has to stop Trump is the president. He HAS to get in control of the depts. If it takes jailing people on national security charges so be it.
This is nothing short of mutiny.
