DNI Coats Statement on The New York Times Op-ed



Speculation that The New York Times op-ed was written by me or my Principal Deputy is patently false. We did not. From the beginning of our tenure, we have insisted that the entire IC remain focused on our mission to provide the President and policymakers with the best intelligence possible.

Daniel R. Coats, Director of National Intelligence
