In a classified briefing yesterday, Trump’s top counter intel official told lawmakers that Russia was indeed working to boost Trump and denigrate Biden. But top Democrats are mad he won’t make the specifics public.

Sources in the room, and others told about the exchanges, told us that Pelosi and Hoyer confronted the counterintelligence chief, William Evanina about their concerns.

ODNI is livid that the details of the classified briefing emerged. politico.com/news/2020/07/3…
All of this stems from Dems’ demand for an FBI briefing on intelligence that Andrii Derkach, a pro-Russian Ukrainian official, is involved in an effort to manipulate Congress in service of these ends.

Sen. Chris Murphy, who has seen some of the underlying intelligence and has been deeply involved in Ukraine policy, has been raising alarms about Derkach for days.

He’s tweeting about him this morning:

@mentions Pelosi and Hoyer both chastised the briefer, William Evanina, who responded that he expected DNI Ratcliffe to provide more details at a hearing on worldwide threats — which may not ever happen.

politico.com/news/2020/07/3…
Asked about the exchanges in the briefing, an ODNI aide said Evanina had made "quite clear" he intended to continue updating the public on foreign interference.

"Unlike some, we don’t comment on the content of classified briefings,” the official said.

BARR says he doesn't read Trump's tweets.

Yet he asked Trump to stop tweeting about DOJ matters and once said they make it "impossible" for him to do his job.

nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
BARR on his false press statement last month that Berman was stepping down from his post as US attorney in SDNY:

“He may not have known it, but he was stepping down.”
This exchange came during questioning from Rep. Neguse. During the same exchange, Neguse asked Barr about US attorneys he appointed to accept information from Ukraine about Joe Biden.

Neguse asked if Barr would set up a similar intake process for info on Trump.
