Ex-Trump official says intel community's testimony interfered in US-North Korea talks
Former national security official Fred Fleitz told Hill.TV on Wednesday that U.S. intelligence officials interfered with U.S.-North Korea negotiations in their testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee last month.
"I got to tell you I think that was a serious mistake. We have to stop these unclassified threat briefings," Fleitz, who served under President Trump, told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on "Rising."
"You and I know maybe it’s likely North Korea’s not going to give up its nuclear weapons, but for the intelligence committee to say that publicly before Congress in a run-up to a summit between President Trump and leader Kim [Jong Un] while negotiations are underway, they’re interfering with the negotiations," he continued.
