Pelosi Accuses White House of Trying to 'Con' US Public on Intelligence

Jeff Seldin

   Leading Democratic lawmakers are slamming the White House, one of them
   accusing the president and his aides of trying to trick the American
   public into believing intelligence on an alleged Russian plot to pay
   for attacks on U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan is not serious.

   The criticism from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi followed a classified
   briefing Thursday by the directors of the CIA and the National Security
   Agency and the recently confirmed director of national intelligence.
