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.

What are you, 12?
I don’t think you realize how arrogant and delusional liberals are.
He’s the Chief Executive and the Commander in Chief, you jerkovs
It’s not your call
Why can't you? You act like federal employees are the most conservative people in the world and are there to help Trump.
What ARE YOU SMOKING?
Perhaps it's time to refresh our entrenched intelligence agencies with fresh blood and rebuild it from scratch?
Perhaps there can be a synergy to rebuilding our military and intelligence capabilities simultaneously?

You just pulled this fact-free sentence out of your sizeable ass.
How come the news didn't squawk about that? Most likely because the venerated press has been in bed with the CIA more and more - See operation mocking bird.
Also there is a book written recently by a German Reporter exposing the whole sorry thing about how the US Intelligence Community has also taken over the news of other countries.
Mysteriously this guy dropped dead of a heart attack. The reason these people are doing this, is because they could wind up executed or locked up for a very long time.
You’re watching the MSM and the left build the gallows that they will hang themselves from.
I have thought the same thing. Not all of it..at least some of it.
He is the victim of vicious smears. He’s in the news while other things happen. He can blame his enemies inc media.
Interesting, thank you.
More ammunition to fire more of these liberals for cause.
Seriously? Or is this more fake news, in which just about anything is published with the intent of damaging the people’s president, regardless of whether any evidence supports the claims?
The intel community briefed Bill Clinton, and they briefed Barack Obama. They even allowed Hillary access to classified information through an unsecured server in her basement. After knowingly giving information to known and obvious security risks, we are to believe that they are withholding information from Trump???
I call BS on this story.
Absolutely I believe that. United States intelligence personnel/FBI et al, are loaded with Obamba era corrupt insiders.
Is this news to you?
What we have here is a de facto coup d’etat - not just these spies, but the bureaucracy as a whole. The judiciary and Senate are itching to participate. Has anything like this ever happened in American history?
To what extent is this fake news? How does the WSJ get this info?
If their article is tied to Russia, it most likely is just plain leftist propaganda. Get enough of it out there, repeat it often as though it’s the truth, and it becomes truth.
The Soros/dem/Bush & who knows who else globalists will not let go.
The old days when folks died mysterious deaths need to return. The Clinton’s understand this type of talk.
Employees who refuse to produce their work product are worthless and must be fired. Fortunately, DJT knows how to fire bad people, ha!
You are exactly right .. this is exactly what they are doing ... it’s a Deep State version of the bully taking your fist and pummeling you with it , while asking, “why are you hitting yourself ?” ...very dangerous times we are in
