Former national security adviser Rice denies leaking names of ‘unmasked’ Trump officials
Former White House national security adviser Susan Rice said Tuesday that allegations that she was responsible for intelligence leaks were false. In her first public comments since reports surfaced that she had requested the “unmasking” of the names of Trump associates in surveillance reports, Rice told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell she hadn’t leaked any of that information to the press. Bloomberg reported Monday evening that Rice sought the names of Trump transition officials whose communications were swept up incidentally during routine monitoring of foreign officials. As national security adviser, she was entitled to see the information.
