A key headline emerging from the Senate Intelligence Committee’s hearing on Wednesday morning came after Adm. Mike Rogers and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats answered questions related to whether President Trump pressured them to publicly downplay the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia.
Coats and Rogers both sang the same tune, insisting they had never felt or received pressure to act inappropriately. “In the three-plus years that I have been the director of the National Security Agency, to the best of my recollection, I have never been directed to do anything I believe to be illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate,” Rogers stated. Coates echoed that, saying, “I’ve never been pressured, never felt pressure to intervene or interfere in any way with shaping intelligence in a political way or in relationship to ongoing investigations.”
