Seems like Trump really likes to de-emphasize things that don’t paint him or his followers in the best light. The whistleblower complaint contained a lot of info but I was focusing on the highlighted part for this thread.
  • A former top official at the Department of Homeland Security accused department leadership of ordering him to stop sharing intelligence assessments that "made the President look bad."
  • Brian Murphy says he was told to stop reporting on the threat of Russian interference in the U.S. election, and instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran.
  • Murphy also says CIS director Ken Cuccinelli told him to modify an assessment on White supremacy in order make "the threat appear less severe, as well as include information on the prominence of violent 'left-wing' groups."
