WASHINGTON DC - Neither the National Security Agency Director nor the Director of National Intelligence have ever felt pressured by President Donald Trump or any other administration official to do anything "illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate." The two made those assurances during a U.S. Senate committee hearing Wednesday morning at the U.S. Capitol.
Admiral Mike Rogers: Never Asked To Do Anything “Immoral, Unethical, Or Inappropriate”
ROGERS: "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. And to the best of my recollection, during that same period of service, I do not recall ever feeling pressured to do so."
DNI Director Dan Coats: “I Have Never Been Pressured,” Nor Have I “Felt Pressure To Intervene”
COATS: "And then secondly, when I was asked yesterday to respond to a piece that I was told was going to be written and printed in the The Washington Post this morning, my response to that was in my time of service, which is interacting with the President of the United States or anybody in his administration, I have never been pressured. I've never felt pressure to intervene or interfere in any way with shaping intelligence in a political way or in relationship with the ongoing investigation."
