US spy chiefs told President-elect Donald Trump last week that Russian operatives claim to have "compromising" personal and financial information about him Eric Thames Jersey , CNN reported Tuesday.
Citing "multiple" unnamed US officials with direct knowledge of the meeting, CNN said the intelligence chiefs presented a two-page synopsis on the potential embarrassment for the incoming president along with their classified briefing on Friday on alleged Russian interference in the presidential election.
President Barack Obama was also briefed on the issue on Thursday.
CNN gave no details of what the so-called compromising information is, but said knowledge of its existence in Russian hands originally came from a former British MI-6 intelligence operative hired by other US presidential contenders to do political "opposition research" on Trump in the middle of last year.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation had been given the information in August Corey Knebel Jersey , more than two months before the November 8 election, according to CNN.
"What has changed since then is that US intelligence agencies have now checked out the former British intelligence operative and his vast network throughout Europe and find him and his sources to be credible enough to include some of the information in the presentations" to Trump, CNN said.
The existence of the information on Trump in Russian hands has been rumored since before the election.
The rumors gained support when the then Democratic leader in the Senate Cheap Milwaukee Brewers Hats , Harry Reid, said in a letter to FBI Director James Comey a week before the vote: "It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors Cheap Milwaukee Brewers T-Shirts , and the Russian government -– a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity. The public has a right to know this information."
In the Friday briefing Trump was also told by the intelligence officials -- the heads of the Directorate of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency Cheap Brewers Pullover Hoodies , the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency -- of allegations that supporters of his White House campaign had a "continuing exchange of information" with intermediaries for the Russian government during the election.
Asked about this in a Senate hearing Tuesday, Comey refused to confirm or deny that his agency was investigating such links.
US intelligence has concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an operation to meddle in the US election to hurt the campaign of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton with embarrassing hacked emails, and then to boost Trump when they thought he had a chance to win.
Trump has repeatedly dismissed the conclusion that Moscow influenced the election while expressing the need to smooth over bilateral relations deeply strained during the Obama presidency.
CARACAS Custom Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys , March 13 (Xinhua) -- The United States is using its sanctions regime to "intimidate" Venezuelan government officials, a Latin American legislator said Friday.
Roy Daza, a Venezuelan deputy of the Latin American Parliament (Parlatino) Cheap Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys , said the tactic was especially targeted at Venezuelan prosecutors investigating those responsible for the violent anti-government demonstrations in 2014 and their U.S. links.
The four months of protests claimed 43 lives.
"What is the administration of (U.S. President Barack) Obama seeking through the sanctions against Venezuelans?" asked Daza in an opinion piece published in the regional daily Correo del Orinoco.
"Evidently it's trying to pressure and intimidate officials working to defend the peace in our country and the legal branch, the Prosecutor's Office."
Venezuela's National Prosecutor Katherine Harrington is one of seven security and defense officials slapped by the U.S. with sanctions on Monday for alleged human rights violations.
The sanctions bar the individuals from entering the United States, freeze any assets they may have there and prohibit Americans from doing business with them.
Harrington is investigating email exchanges between former Venezuelan right-wing deputy Maria Corina Machado and U.S. Ambassador to Colombia Kevin Whitaker Travis Shaw Brewers Jersey , among others. Officials say the emails uncover a plot to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro and topple his government.
In announcing the third set of sanctions against the South American government in four months, Obama issued an executive order claiming "the situation in Venezuela ... constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat."
The aggressively-worded declaration has been condemned by the international community and should be retracted Stephen Vogt Brewers Jersey , said Daza.
