Conway, who served as manager of the Trump campaign, has been named counselor to the president for the incoming White House.

Trump questioned the findings of the intelligence community on Thursday after new reports suggested that the Democratic National Committee did not let the FBI examine its hacked servers.



"So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? What is going on?" Trump asked in a tweet.

On Friday, Trump also blasted Clinton, tweeting that his Democratic opponent was never going to beat the passion of his supporters.



Intelligence officials are set Friday to brief Trump on a classified report detailing Russia's alleged interference in the election. President Obama was given the same report Thursday, and intelligence officials are expected to release a version of it to the public next week.
