Acosta also questioned the president's claim that it was "three or four" intelligence agencies that determined Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 election, not "17 intelligence agencies" as the New York Times erroneously reported.
"Where does that number come from?" Acosta wondered about the "three or four" figure.

WHICH 17 AGENCIES?
Name them.
And show us the ‘official’ notification- was it a letter? Official Report? Press release? what...?
Acosta is a disaster. Over and over and over. His mission is “get Trump” but Wile E Coyote never gets roadrunner.
Even CNN should be embarrassed by this boob.
Acosta is an idiot. Clapper said it was the FBI, NSA, And CIA. 3 NOT 17.
This is really quite remarkable. A major news source like CNN so unfamiliar with the details of the phony Russia-Trump collusion story that it doesn’t know as much about it as the average Freeper.
Dear Mr. Acosta. The report was issued by selected personnel from the FBI, NSA and CIA. Look it up. Trump is right.
Even the NYTimes said Trump was right on this...
The left don’t even know what their own people says...
Seems like Clapper was responding to Sen. Franken.....
The sound-bite probably was deleted by CNN. /sarc
NYTimes retracts:
NYT: A White House Memo article on Monday about President Trump’s deflections and denials about Russia referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election. The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.
Why is it that we Deplorables know that the number was FOUR agencies, as per the NYT correction last week, but Acosta doesn’t know this? One suspects he doesn’t keep up with the retractions of the msm’s fake news as diligently as we do.
He used Common Core Math.
17 = 1 + 7
1 + 7 = 8
The right half of the 8 is 3
Thus 17 = 3
Believe me...folks....a human being does not much dumber then Robert Acosta of Failing CNN!!!
One of the things that destroyed Michael Medved’s credibility for me was when he kept quoting the 17 agency meme.
To this day.
James Clapper from yesterday’s hearing...
Clapper: Not all 17 intelligence agencies were in on assessment about Russian election interference

SARA MURRAY, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Now, whether President Trump is inclined to accept it or not, 17 U.S. intelligence agencies did conclude that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 election. They did not conclude that there was any other country involved in that.
yet they were able to ID an obsolete reddit user who made a funny video within 48hrs of it being retweeted by the President...
Hey CNN. Go find another private citizen to threaten and blackmail.
It’s all you’re good at.
....He used Common Core Math...
Wait till DJT gets hold of this.
Acosta is a buffoon. CNN will have to issue yet another “correction.”
The 17 Agencies originated from Hillary Clinton. That alone should have clued everyone it’s a lie.
Agencies like the Coast Guard, Air Force Recon, Marine Recon, that did 0 investigations, as they should it’s not in their mission, on the Russians hacking the U.S. Presidential Election.
It was only 3 agencies... FBI, CIA and NSA.
The Director of National Intelligence is not an agency as the NY Times claimed.
It was a hand picked panel of 24 people by corrupt Globalists Comey, Brennan and Clapper. So right there you know it’s going to be rigged and not object. All of them #NeverTrumpers.
The panel did not follow tradition methods of gathering intelligence on a standard case of this magnitude. It quickly and unanimously agreed the Russians hacked our election.
When the panelist were asked how come there was not even 1 vote against? They honestly said well we voted the way they wanted. So forget doing a fair an honest assessment. The panel though let’s just say Russia did it and President Trump should not be President.
Astounding it was even accepted as legit.
SARA MURRAY, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Remember, whether President Trump is likely to admit or embrace it or not, 17 U.S. intelligence agencies did agree with high confidence that Russia meddled in the U.S. election. ...NIC ROBERTSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR: What is he [Putin] going to take out of that to exploit, further fuel President Trump's clear dilemma in his own mind about who was responsible and about which intelligence agency has that assessment? What is it President Trump will say to him that will exacerbate and perhaps, you know, give the president more things to think about that can undermine the central beliefs of 17 of the U.S.'s intelligence agencies about his, Putin's role, in the U.S. elections?
