NEW: Acting DNI Ric Grenell has replied to Schiff's demand for info about the Atkinson firing and other personnel changes at the IC.

Instead of offering answers, he slapped at Schiff for failing to acknowledge the appointment of 2 women to senior posts.

Here's Grenell's two-page letter: politico.com/f/?id=00000171…
Here was Schiff's original April 7 request, which included a call for Grenell to halt his overhaul of the IC, in part because he's just a temporary holdover until a permanent successor is confirmed: politico.com/f/?id=00000171…

JUST IN: The Senate Intelligence Committee affirms the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia acted to aid Trump in 2016 — and explicitly breaks with the House GOP.

"The ICA reflects strong tradecraft," said Burr.

Burr's comment rebuffs this line from the House's 2018 report:

"(U) Finding #16: The Intelligence Community Assessment judgments on Putin's strategic intentions did not employ proper analytic tradecraft."
Unlike House GOP report, Senate finds "specific intelligence reporting to support the assessment that Putin and the Russian Government demonstrated a preference for candidate Trnmp."

NEW: None of the powerful new watchdogs Congress established to monitor Trump’s handling of coronavirus relief are functioning yet.

But quietly, the GAO has launched dozens of inquiries on everything from PPE to testing.

politico.com/news/2020/04/2…
The independent GAO — infused with a fresh $20 million to add to its 3,000 auditors and experts — is the only entity conducting real-time monitoring of Trump’s handling of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus response.

And unlike IGs, Trump can’t fire them.

politico.com/news/2020/04/2…
Trump already tangled with GAO once: The Office investigated his handling of aid to Ukraine. Ultimately, it concluded he broke the law by blocking it — and rapped the White House for stonewalling it’s inquiry.
