WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s incoming chief of staff says the president-elect isn’t ready to accept the assessment of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by hacking the Democratic Party’s private communications.
Reince Priebus tells “Fox News Sunday” that intelligence officials “haven’t been totally upfront and transparent” about their findings.
He says even if Moscow did interfere, Democrats lost because they’re out of touch with voters.
His comments come a day before Electoral College members vote to officially make Trump the 45th president of the United States.
