President Trump’s anger over what he perceived to be an inappropriate Congressional briefing about election security cost Joseph Maguire a chance to become permanent DNI, a former senior U.S. official tells NBCNews
That was a shift; previously, Maguire, who had served as acting director of national intelligence since August, had been under consideration to get the permanent job of DNI.
The former official did not know what Pierson, who works for Maguire, said that set Trump off. The Post reported that the president"erroneously believed that she had given information exclusively to Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., the committee chairman, and that the information would be helpful to Democrats if it were released publicly, the people familiar with the matter said."
