Pentagon chief says he 'didn't see' intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack four US embassies | TheHill

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said on Sunday that he did not see intelligence that supported President Trump’s comments that the Iranian commander killed in a U.S. drone strike was plotting attacks against four U.S. embassies.

Esper said on CBS's "Face the Nation" that he shared Trump’s view that planning was underway, but did not cite intelligence information he saw to support the claims.
=====================================================
So Trump spouts intel that not even the SECDEF had seen. Sounds a bit fishy to me but seems par for Trump's course.
 
The man in charge of the intel collection hasn't seen it, but he took Trump's word that it was true? He needs firing. Pompeo had the Trump intel too, where did HE get it?
