BREAKING: CNN Report Says ‘US Investigators Corroborate Some Aspects Of The Russia Dossier’
CNN is reporting that U.S. officials have confirmed some details contained in unverified dossier about Donald Trump that surfaced weeks ago.
CNN is saying that, “None of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations in the dossier. Rather it relates to conversations between foreign nationals. The dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior Russian officials and other Russian individuals. Sources would not confirm which specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the classified nature of US intelligence collection programs.”
And the CNN report also went on to say that the intelligence intercepts confirm that many of the conversations that were detailed in the dossier actually took place “between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations as detailed in the dossier, according to the officials.”
The CNN report also said that the corroboration of some details in the dossier is based on intercepted communications by US counter intelligence officials. And intercepts have “given US intelligence and law enforcement “greater confidence” in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier as they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say.”
CNN also report:
US intelligence officials emphasize the conversations were solely between foreign nationals, including those in or tied to the Russian government, intercepted during routine intelligence gathering.Some of the individuals involved in the intercepted communications were known to the US intelligence community as “heavily involved” in collecting information damaging to Hillary Clinton and helpful to Donald Trump, two of the officials tell CNN.
