Trump rejects intel, lawmakers vow probe of Russia hacking



WASHINGTON >> President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday called a recent CIA assessment of Russian hacking “ridiculous” and says he’s not interested in getting daily intelligence briefings – an unprecedented rejection of the nation’s massive and sophisticated intelligence apparatus.

Trump’s remarks come as key congressional Republicans joined Democrats in demanding a bipartisan investigation into the Kremlin’s activities and questioned consideration of Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson – who has close business ties with Moscow – as head of the State Department.
