BREAKING: A sr administration official tells CNN that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has informed the House/Senate Select Committees on Intelligence that ODNI will no longer be briefing them on election security issues in person โ€” instead: written updates.

 

So far no comment yet from ODNI, or the Senate/House committees.

 

The official notes that other agencies supporting election security including DOJ DOD and DHS intend to continue briefing congress.

 

The House and Senate select Committees on Intelligence generally prefer in person briefings where they can ask questions, challenge assumptions and provide actual in person oversight.

 

An official with ODNI tells CNN this is being done for โ€œclarity and to protect sensitive intelligence from unauthorized disclosuresโ€ฆ We are concerned with unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information following recent briefings.โ€
