Russia poses an external threat and Trump an internal one, says the former director of national intelligence
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper issued a stern warning Sunday about the state of the US government after President Donald Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey last week, saying he thinks US institutions are "under assault."
Clapper: I don't know if there was collusion
Former DNI James Clapper said he was not aware the FBI was investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia until former FBI Director James Comey confirmed the existence of an investigation while testifying before Congress.
Trump: Everyone's convinced there was no collusion
President Donald Trump denied allegations of collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives in an interview Saturday night on Fox News, adding that he wants "to get to the bottom" of the questions about Russian influence in the election.
