Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats met with White House chief of staff John Kelly this week to air his concerns about the release of a memo alleging surveillance at the Department of Justice, according to The Washington Post.
Five FBI officials also reportedly expressed their reservations about the controversial document’s release during a meeting with Kelly on Tuesday.
The Post reports that the conversation between Kelly and the national security officials focused on the importance of shielding sources and intelligence gathering.
