President Trump continued to disparage his intelligence officials, and insisted “time will prove me right” on sensitive foreign policy matters like North Korea and the Islamic State, Politico reports.
When asked if he has confidence in CIA Director Gina Haspel and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats to give him good advice, Trump replied: “No, I disagree with certain things that they said. I think I’m right. Time will prove me right, probably.”
