But he raised hackles among intelligence professionals earlier this month when he accused them of leaks that led some U.S. media outlets to report unsubstantiated claims that Russia had collected compromising information about him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Trump had accused U.S. intelligence agencies of engaging in tactics reminiscent of Nazi Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">After that blast, outgoing CIA Director John Brennan fired back on \u201cFox News Sunday,\u201d saying Trump &#8220;has to be mindful that he does not have a full appreciation and understanding of what the implications are of going down that road.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-trump-cia-idUSKBN15333R<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/politics\/trump-visit-cia-headquarters-saturday.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump to visit CIA headquarters on Saturday Trump to visit CIA headquarters on Saturday:- Donald Trump plans to visit CIA headquarters on Saturday on his first full day as U.S. president, as he takes command of an agency that he has harshly criticized, a transition official said on Thursday.
