to make up their own minds as to the truth. The media lies to make it look like I am against "Intelligence" when in fact I am a big fan!

Trump noted that the media lied yet again, this time to make him look like he is against the US intelligence community, when he is actually "a big fan."
The president-elect also mentioned Assange’s claim that a 14-year-old could have hacked Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, leading Trump to call the Democrats careless.
Trump has criticized US intelligence officials over their claims that Russia breached the Democratic National Committee's computer systems.
Russian officials have called the US allegations of interference absurd, and have noted the allegations are intended to deflect US public opinion from revelations of corruption and other pressing domestic concerns.
