Priebus: Trump Would Acknowledge Russian Interference Given Joint Intel Report

Published December 18, 2016 4:55pm ET



On Fox News Sunday, RNC Chairman and soon-to-be White House chief of staff Reince Priebus told Chris Wallace the president-elect would acknowledge Russian intervention in the election if the intelligence agencies would just “come out and say it” via joint report.

“I think he would accept the conclusion if these intelligence professionals would get together, put out a report and show the American people they’re actually on the same page—as opposed to third parties through the Washington Post,” said Priebus, when asked whether the president-elect accepts “consensus about the intel community’s assessment on Russian interference.”
