We have these leaks, we have reports, intel officials are not sharing information with the president. Nbc news has confirmed that President Trump will tap wall street mogul Steven Feinberg to review these issues. How is all this going to play out . Its surely setting up to be one of the biggest fights so far in the first four weeks of Donald Trumps presidency. We have the Intelligence Community on one side and the Trump Administration on the other.
