U.S. Intel Agencies Have Rejected A Congressional Request For A Briefing On Reports That Russia Interfered In The U.S. Election

The Hill: Intel agencies reject request for House committee briefing, citing larger probe

The Intelligence Community (IC) is refusing to provide the House Intelligence Committee with a requested Thursday briefing on Russian interference with the U.S. election, citing an ongoing review of the matter requested by President Obama.

According to a statement, the IC will not be offering comment to Congress until it completes that review, which will cover foreign interference in the electoral process since 2008.

"Once the review is complete in the coming weeks, the Intelligence Community stands ready to brief Congress — and will make those findings available to the public consistent with protecting intelligence sources and methods," the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said in a statement.

The Obama review is scheduled to be completed by the time Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20.
