CIA Director Mike Pompeo slammed The New York Times on Tuesday for what he says was a false report that was sourced by Russians who intended to trick the left-leaning publication.
The Times reported late last week that American spies paid a mysterious Russian $100,000 to deliver stolen “NSA cyber weapons and ‘compromising material on President Trump,’ including a supposed video of Trump with prostitutes in Moscow,” The Washington Free Beacon reported.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) brought up the Times’ report to Pompeo during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Tuesday, asking if the agency “categorically denied” it.
“Reporting on this matter has been atrocious,” Pompeo said in response to Collins’ question. “It’s been ridiculous, totally inaccurate. And in our view, the suggestion the CIA was swindled is false.”
