The nation’s intelligence chief hopes William Barr will keep “long-established standards” during his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. He also said the release of “highly-sensitive classified information” would imperil national security
The nation’s intelligence chief expressed hope Friday that Attorney General William Barr would adhere to “long-established standards” during his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe — but warned the release of “highly-sensitive classified information” would imperil national security.
“Much like we have with other investigations and reviews, the Intelligence Community will provide the Department of Justice all of the appropriate information for its review of intelligence activities related to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election,” Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said in a statement.
He added that the intelligence community “will continue to faithfully execute its mission of providing timely, apolitical intelligence to the President and policymakers.”
