Trump insists he's on same page as intel chiefs after insulting them

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that his intelligence chiefs, including Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel, told him that they were misquoted when they publicly contradicted him during public on-camera testimony.

He made the claim a day after he tweeted that "Intelligence should go back to school!"

"They said they were totally misquoted and totally taken out of context," Trump said when asked by CNN if he raised the testimony with Coats and Haspel during his daily briefing on Thursday.

"They said it was fake news," Trump said.

Pelosi also rejected as a “non-starter” the Republican president’s offer of temporary protection for young “Dreamers” in exchange for permanent wall. She said she does not believe a bill to permanently end shutdowns should be part of current border security negotiations.
