WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation and key U.S. spy agencies on Friday would not say whether they will participate in a classified briefing on election security, which the Democratic-led House Intelligence Committee has scheduled for Sept. 17.

 

Spokespeople for the DNI, FBI and CIA all declined to comment on whether their officials would participate in the Sept. 17 election-related briefing requested by Schiff. The NSA and Homeland Security Department did not immediately respond to request for comment.

 

A congressional source familiar with contacts between leading House Democrats and spy agencies said it was not clear if the House committee would receive the same range of election security briefings that Rubio said his committee expects.

Peter Strzok, the fired former FBI agent who became a political target of President Trump, compared the president’s attacks on certain government officials to the acts of an authoritarian, saying they have created a “chilling effect” on those serving or considering a career in public service.

 

“I know from people I keep in touch with that the personal attacks have had a chilling effect on employees in the government and, I have to imagine, on those considering public service. There’s no way it couldn’t. That’s the goal,” Strzok said in an interview with The Atlantic published Friday.

 

“Trump has shattered the norms of presidential behavior in a way that impacts not just individuals, but governmental organizations themselves,” Strzok said. “I worry four more years of Trump threatens significant, long-term harm.”

 

The former FBI counterintelligence agent pointed to Trump's attacks against government officials like former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as well as retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who offered key testimony during the impeachment inquiry into Trump.
