Susan Rice must testify to Congress

Published



President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, made sure she knew who was who on President Trump’s transition team during the waning days of the Obama administration.

As Trump’s team prepared to take over the federal government, intelligence services’ surveillance of foreign officials incidentally popped up with conversations about or involving members of Team Trump. Logs kept on a White House database reportedly show that Rice asked in several cases to see the names of the Americans involved. That information is typically “masked” or concealed in written reports because U.S. intelligence services are not supposed to monitor Americans. Meanwhile, details about at least one such conversation, with names included, were leaked to the Washington Post.
