Q President Trump tweeted overnight, “Intel just spoke[reported] to me…” What specifically does that mean? Who spoke to him? Did that person, in fact, give the President a full briefing in that conversation?

MS. MCENANY: So, I have no further details on the President’s private correspondence.

Q And can you tell us who is coming to the White House today, and who is going to brief those lawmakers?

MS. MCENANY: So, what I can tell you about that is that, last night, the Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, called both Senator McConnell and Congressman Hoyer and bri- — and said that he would be briefing eight members from the committees of jurisdiction.

So there was a bipartisan invitation extended, but no further details other than that.

Q Is that briefing going to happen today, Kayleigh?

MS. MCENANY: Yes, it was ongoing at the time when I came out here — at least it had started, I think, 30 minutes prior to me coming out here.

Q But they’re going to come to the White — just — I just want to be clear about what’s happening. Members of Congress have come or are coming to the White House?

MS. MCENANY: Yes.

------------------
The White House briefed several House Republicans on intelligence that Russia offered bounties to Afghan militants who targeted U.S. troops for assassination, according to Trump administration officials and congressional sources.

Seven House Republicans attended the briefing, including Reps. Mac Thornberry and Michael McCaul, ranking members on the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs panels, respectively. A mix of other Republicans from those committees — Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.) — also attended. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), who doesn't sit on either panel but leads the House Freedom Caucus, was also present.

Noticeably absent from the briefing, which are traditionally bipartisan affairs, were any Democrats, despite controlling both House panels. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows called House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) Sunday to try to schedule a briefing for Democrats but its unclear why that has yet to happen or if it will.

------------------------------

im waiting to see if the reports are true. It could have very well never been confirmed and never reported to the White House.

But come on Kayleigh ... how are you going to paint this as a bi-partisan briefing when it was not? It was just a republican briefing on a national security issue.

Id imagine Graham and Cotton and Hannity would blow a gasket claiming conspiracy and "getting on the same page" if Obama did a dem only briefing in this situation.
