Susan Rice, who served as former President Barack Obama's national security adviser, quietly met behind closed doors Friday with Senate intelligence committee investigators probing Russian meddling in the elections, according to an official familiar with the matter.
Rice, one of three former Obama officials who met with the panel this week, has come under sharp scrutiny from some House Republicans because they believe she improperly "unmasked" -- or revealed the identities collected in intelligence gathering -- of Trump associates in US intelligence reports. She has vigorously denied any wrongdoing.
"Ambassador Rice met voluntarily with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence today as part of the committee's bipartisan investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 US presidential election," said Erin Pelton, a spokesperson for Rice, who also served as Obama's US ambassador to the United Nations. "Ambassador Rice appreciates the Committee's efforts to examine Russia's efforts to interfere, which violated one of the core foundations of American democracy."
Now there is only one news source by the name of CNN reporting this, so take this news of Susan Rice meeting behind closed doors with the Senate Intelligence Committee for what it's for. If Susan Rice did in fact meet with Senate Intelligence Committee officials today behind closed doors, then this would mean Susan Rice met with the Committee without no press coverage...Since she did walk out of her scheduled Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Tuesday.
If this is a true report of Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice meeting behind closed doors with the Senate Committee in an unscheduled hearing, then something likely very dirty went down should be all of our guesses. Susan Rice just suddenly showing up behind closed doors with the Senate Intelligence Committee after walking out of her testimony on Tuesday should now raise the alarm for all Americans.
