“I think Comey or Crapper or someone in the intelligence community called Trump and told him that it wasn’t them and that in fact it had been used to the limited extent of showing Trump what sort of Fake News was out there and that it was totally fake.”
Intel chief calls Trump to disavow leaks
The nation’s top intel chief called President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday to personally deny leaking to the media a dubious dossier of allegations about sensitive information the Russians supposedly had about him.
Trump confirmed Thursday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper spoke to him by phone, apparently sometime after a press conference in which Trump lashed out at media outlets, including Buzzfeed and CNN, that ran with the story and speculated it was leaked by federal officials.
“James Clapper called me yesterday to denounce the false and fictitious report that was illegally circulated,” Trump tweeted. “Made up, phony facts.Too bad!”

Clapper’s call does not negate his obligation to determine, charge, convict and jail whomever is responsible for this and for earlier leaks of intel about DJT.
