Newly Released Documents: Obama Officials Changed Intelligence Sharing Rules In Final Days To Undermine Trump Administration

Via a FOIA request, Sekulow reports the ACLJ has received documents which show Obama officials, led by then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, had gone to great lengths to change intelligence sharing rules in the last weeks of the Obama administration.

The documents reveal DNI official Robert Litt telling the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense's Director of Intelligence Strategy, Policy, & Integration: "Really want to get this done and so does the Boss.".

We are also now aware of Director of National Intelligence Clapper's open hostility to President Trump and intentional leaking by senior law enforcement and intelligence officials who were also hostile to Trump.

All of these facts point to a coordinated effort across agencies during the Obama administration to oppose the incoming Trump administration.

In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government's 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.

The first mention of these rule changes came in a 2014 New York Times article it wasn't until the final weeks of the Obama administration that they were acted upon.

Sekulow's revelation adds to the ever-growing pile of evidence indicating that there was indeed a "Coordinated effort" by a shadow government which worked to undermine President Trump.
