Washington (CNN)US intelligence officials on Friday discounted the possibility of foreign countries mass producing fake ballots to interfere in the November elections, contradicting President Donald Trump's continued insistence that mail-in voting poses a significant threat to election security.

The closed-door House briefing was led by the US intelligence community's top election official, Bill Evanina, and senior intelligence officials who specialize in election security. Officials dismissed the possibility of foreign powers being able to interfere on a mass scale to produce and send fake ballots to voters and election authorities, a source said.

The issue of forged ballots only came up when a lawmaker asked about it, a source in attendance told CNN. Evanina didn't raise any alarms about that possibility, the source said.

The briefing highlighted the regular clash of views on election security between Trump and the administration's top officials charged with keeping the November vote secure, both in public and in classified briefings.

1. Naturally.

Trump doesn’t give a fig about what any experts say. He knows more than all of them, combined. He has a great brain.

2. I have an uneasy feeling

I wonder if all the so-called fuss about fraudulent mail-in voting is a distraction to get folks to say "no, no, mail-in voting is just fine" ... and then Trump & the GOP flood the battleground states with fraudulent mail-in ballots ..

I feel like we're being played ...
