Sue Gordon was in line to be acting director of national intelligence after Dan Coats quit last year. President Trump thought otherwise. Gordon now recounts her time in his administration.

North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr is praising Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats as he prepares to step down from the post.

The departure of the director of national intelligence means that almost every senior member of President Trump's original national security team is gone from his or her job.

Six phony websites were created by hackers linked with Russian intelligence and blamed for 2016 election interference, the company says. They allegedly targeted the Senate and two think tanks.

Sergey Naryshkin, who has been on a U.S. Treasury Department sanctions list since 2014, reportedly met with U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and other U.S. intelligence officials.

Reports indicate that Dan Coats, a former Indiana senator, will be selected to be director of national intelligence. But Coats and the president-elect appear to have very different views of Russia.
