Trump to seek probe of secret report he says was given to NBC

President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday that he would ask congressional committees to investigate NBC's receipt of top secret information, apparently referring to a report on Russian hacking to influence the 2016 U.S. election.

"I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it," Trump said in a post on Twitter.

Several news outlets carried stories on Thursday evening on a U.S. intelligence report on Russian efforts to influence American presidential election. The report was delivered to President Barack Obama earlier in the day.

2. he is a sick

SOB he is nothing but a mobster. Now is he going lash out at NBC.

Boy, he called it a political witch hunt, does he even know what that means.

He is protecting his master pootie. For sure. Always blaming and scapegoating.

3. Isn't this report going to be released to the public next week?

Which means it's not classified.

Also, since Putin's Tangerine Puppet hasn't been briefed yet, how would he know what's classified and what's not?

The real issue here is Trump threatening to use his executive powers to scare the media.
