President-elect Donald Trump said the "intelligence" briefing he was to have with Obama administration officials was moved to Friday — noting "perhaps more time needed to build a case."
"Very strange!" Trump said Tuesday on Twitter:
Trump said Friday he would meet this week with intelligence officials to discuss Russian hacking after he came under fire for praising President Vladimir Putin for not retaliating after President Barack Obama expelled 35 Kremlin diplomats and closed two compounds because of hacking by Moscow.
The president-elect has long questioned U.S. intelligence information on Russian hacking and Moscow's involvement in the November election.
"It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things," Trump said in the Friday statement. "Nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the intelligence community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation."
Both President Obama and Democrat Hillary Clinton have scored Russia for hacking into the Democratic National Committee and other party operatives and for meddling in the election.
In addition, former CIA Director James Woolsey said Tuesday he was not sure whether Trump would make any announcement after the intelligence briefing.
"I would leave it up to his people that work on press statements and so forth to carry that information," Woolsey, who a Trump national security adviser, told Anderson Cooper on CNN. "I don't know."

I think they should hire somebody that has Assange’s skill sets
Good point!
The world is laughing at us. Obama appointments all losers, make us look weak.
Who cares about AP.
Remember, the obama regime told us a video was responsible for benghazi. All lies. The media never reported it as a lie. Now the same liars tell us Russia “hacked the election”. Well that’s a lie on its face, as emails were hacked, not the election. Give ‘em hell President Trump. 16 more days.
Obama administration = Clown car
Ho-Hum, Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, etc.....truly identified, certified lie tellers!!! These people and their Democrat Party, vermin cohorts are so yesterday!!! LMAO at these clowns and buffoons!!!
What happened was the CIA was able to hack into Putin’s computer and install spyware that records keystrokes and then transmits back to the CIA. They captured Putin coding up the malware and the phish that were used to infect the DNC and Podesta’s computer.
The problem is they can’t reveal this to the public because that will compromise their activities.
Come the 20th, there will be no delays or they’ll be reading “You’re fired” tweets.
Yup.
Trump’s right - it is “Very strange!”
There is a very important point going forward;
When confronted with a lie, the liar (s) will typically resort to either double down or more rarely, surrender.
Obama has demonstrated absolutely no desire to surrender to the truth and his deceptions and lies.
We NEED to prosecute him for EVERY law he broke, from IRS to Benghazi, to the voter fraud, and a dozen other legitimate laws that liberals would DEFINITELY prosecute any Republican...
Wake up people, we need to keep these Marxists back on their heals! WE have to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, OR THEY WILL TRY TO.
VERY good point! The fool threw the Russians out over something unimportant enough that the PE didn’t need to know...
