Meanwhile, Trump mocks intelligence reports, indicating that the matter of Russian interference is nothing but sour grapes on the part of Democrats.
He also said, “I’m a smart person…” “I don’t need daily security briefings.”

Personally, I would like to see Trump’s inauguration postponed until this whole thing is straightened out.
What would you want done at this point? I strongly encourage you to contact senators and representatives to let them know.
