Chad Wolf faces nomination hearing amid questions over intel assessments
Source: CNN
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf called allegations of modifying intelligence assessments for political purposes "patently false" and a "fabrication" during a Senate panel hearing on his nomination to serve as chief of the department on a permanent basis.
Earlier this month, Brian Murphy, who headed the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, filed a whistleblower complaint alleging Wolf and his deputy, Ken Cuccinelli, repeatedly instructed career officials to modify intelligence assessments to suit Trump's agenda. Wolf denied those claims.
"Regarding the Intelligence and Analysis whistleblower complaint from Mr. Murphy, is patently false. It's a fabrication, completely. I reject any claim that I attempted to influence or retaliate against any individual at DHS, but specifically, Mr. Murphy," Wolf told lawmakers.
Murphy was reassigned in August after it was revealed his office had gathered intelligence reports on two US journalists.
