2 p. summary "was presented as an appendix to the intelligence agencies report on #Russianhacking"


I believe it was Rep Marsha Blackburn (not sure) that was just on msnbc saying strongly that Trump did not know of this summary. The msnbc host shout have asked her if it was a report presented when Trump did not attend!!

Also add: The Intell Report was just presented a week ago.
