Trey Gowdy upset about broken pledge that Dan Coats testimony wouldn’t leak

Published June 23, 2017 2:29am ET



Rep. Trey Gowdy is not happy that details from the House Intelligence Committee’s closed meeting with Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats on Thursday leaked, after he assured Coats that “selective leaking” wouldn’t happen.

During an appearance on CNN, Gowdy, R-S.C., was asked to describe the “tone” of the intelligence panel’s meeting behind closed doors on Thursday, after which news outlets reported on leaks from the meeting. Those reports included one from NBC News, citing an unnamed source familiar with the conversation, that Coats said President Trump repeatedly asked him to say there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia.
