Washington(CNN) The US intelligence community's top election security official appears to have overstated the intelligence community's formal assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 election, omitting important nuance during a briefing with lawmakers earlier this month, three national security officials told CNN.

The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected.

The US intelligence community has assessed that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election and has separately assessed that Russia views Trump as a leader they can work with. But the US does not have evidence that Russia's interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump, the officials said.



Another false bombshell

Shelby Pierson needs to be fired

That is an inexcusable mishap

Every single time a big story breaks they have to walk it back a few days later.

Translated: We didn’t expect to be called out on this, and now we have to back off the original claim.

I thought that the IC was not to be questioned and that the Trump admin calling bullshite was to be ignored.

Anyone else ever notice that these " oopsy" moments never favor Trump?

The " oopsy" always casts Trump into a negative light until corrected.

So now you believe anonymous sources on CNN?

Could this just be trying to change the narrative by the new regime (the new acting DNI, Grenell)?

Funny how the story starts to change when people start to really understand which candidate the Russians would really like to see win the election.... Bernie.

Russians don’t want 4 more years of Trump. Anyone that thinks Russia is about to interfere to Trumps benefit is an idiot on numerous levels.

Why can’t they interfere on behalf of both?

Sanders could bankrupt us, but Congress can stop him.

Trump being re-elected would ensure four more years of American turmoil.

Intentional to help hurt Trump and Bernie. Didn’t appear to work so now they are walking it back.

I'd love a statistician to run the numbers to see the likelihood that every single "mistake" or "error" that happens always seems to be to the detriment of the Administration.

You would think sheer odds would at least a few of them would be in their favor.
