The Latest on President-elect Donald Trump (all times EST): 12:15 p.m. President-elect Donald Trump says he'll ask Congress to investigate leaks to the media on U.S. intelligence alleging Russia meddled in last year's election by hacking Democratic emails. Less than an hour before he was to be briefed Friday by the directors of the FBI and CIA and the Director of National Intelligence on their findings, Trump tweeted that he was "asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it." NBC aired a report Thursday that said...

Donald J. Trump Verified account ‏@realDonaldTrump The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!

The leak exposed personal data including Social Security numbers to the assigned posts of critical members of the US military, some of whom hold the highest levels of security clearance.A Pentagon subcontractor has exposed reams of highly sensitive details belonging to active military healthcare professionals online, some of which hold top-secret security clearances.

GOP Rep. Peter King accused CIA Director John Brennan on Sunday of orchestrating a “hit job” against GOP President-elect Donald Trump. In an interview Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” King, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said while he agrees there should be an investigation into Russian involvement in the election, there should also be an investigation into Brennan for the “hit job he seems to be orchestrating against the president-elect,” Politico reports. This hit job, according to King, has taken the form of Brennan allegedly leaking intelligence assessments to the press and circumventing Congress, in...

A senior Republican congressman called for an investigation into whether the head of the CIA leaked to the media while withholding from Congress the agency's findings that Russians used hacking in an attempt to help Donald Trump win the presidency. "We have supposedly [CIA Director] John Brennan leaking information to The Washington Post, to a biased newspaper like The New York Times -- findings and conclusions that he's not telling the [House] Intelligence Committee," said Rep. Peter King of New York in an interview with ABC News' Martha Raddatz on "This Week." King, a former chairman and current member of...

<p>WASHINGTON — CNN president Jeff Zucker ripped former contributor Donna Brazile’s leaks to the Clinton campaign as “disgusting” and “unethical” during a Tuesday editorial meeting, according to a report.</p> <p>In a conference call, Zucker said the perception that campaigns could receive questions in advance “hurts all of us,” an unnamed source told the Huffington Post.</p>

Should I send cable like Panetta sent letter? I think this is both dishonorable and dangerous and want to find way to say it.

Katie Pavlich on John Harwood's performance as moderator at a Republican primary debate held by CNBC in Boulder, Colorado last summer. Harwood has been under scrutiny since a recent Wikileaks drop revealed e-mails from the CNBCer gloating about the way he handled Donald Trump. "I think that you have to take a look at what John Harwood is saying here. He is perpetuating this myth that Hillary's e-mail scandal is simply about e-mails. It was never about e-mails, it was about the fact that she mishandled top-secret classified information that put lives at risk, intelligence sources on the ground like...

It’s rapidly becoming less of an October surprise and more of a regular occurrence. Wikileaks announced minutes ago that it has released its fourth batch of stolen emails from John Podesta, the Chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, onto its website. 1,193 emails are included in the document dump.

A new Wikileaks email revealed Hillary Clinton confidant Phillipe Reines discussed deleting emails despite knowing it was against the law. Clinton later deleted over 33,000 subpoenaed emails.

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 11, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – “Conservative Catholics” are the latest Americans to be smeared by members of Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign, leaked emails revealed on Tuesday show. Catholic beliefs are bashed as “backwards” and conservative Catholics are termed responsible for “an amazing bastardization of the faith” in one of the more than 1,000 hacked emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta released Tuesday afternoon by WikiLeaks. “I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion,” writes Clinton campaign Director of Communications Jennifer Palmieri. “Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals.”...

WikiLeaks has published more than 2,000 new emails purportedly belonging to Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman. The anti-secrecy website has posted a link to what it calls "part two" of its release of John Podesta's emails. Last week, WikiLeaks made public potentially damaging revelations about Clinton's paid speeches to Wall Street firms. The emails showed Clinton telling a group that it's acceptable for a president to project differing positions in public and private. Clinton said in Sunday's debate that she was alluding to Abraham Lincoln's efforts to get Congress to abolish slavery.

On October 10, Wikileaks released part two of their emails from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta. Friday, Wikileaks released their first batch of Podesta’s emails, which included excerpts from Clinton’s Wall Street transcripts that reaffirmed why Clinton refused to release them in full. During the second presidential debate, Clinton confirmed their authenticity by attempting to defend one statement she made in the speech about having a public and private stance on political issues. She cited Abraham Lincoln, a defense comparable to her ridiculous invocation of 9/11 when pressed on her ties to Wall Street during a Democratic primary debate. The...
