NDM: White House and Russia vs FBI

White House asked FBI to deny reports linking Russia and Trump advisers

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

Donald Trump’s chief of staff asked the FBI to deny media reports that campaign advisers were frequently in touch with Russian intelligence agents during the election, a White House official has said. The FBI were content on knowing the truth and didn't want exaggerate a story. The New York Times reported that US agencies had intercepted phone calls last year between Russian intelligence officials and members of Trump’s 2016 campaign team.

This seems like a betrayal on the American people because for many years it has been believed that the two countries have been giant rivals. But now the president has been exposed communicating with Russia, it seems a little dodgy and wrong. This isn't the person American should want running their country.
