President Trump reportedly suggested that top intelligence officials say publicly there was no collusion between his campaign and the Russians.

CNN, citing multiple sources, reported Thursday that two of the nation's top intelligence officials told special counsel Robert Mueller's team and Senate investigators about the president's suggestion.

The comments from the intelligence officials came last week in separate interviews, according to the network.

The two top intelligence officials said, however, they don't think Trump ordered them to interfere in the investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election, including any possible links between Moscow and members of Trump's campaign.

According to CNN, they said they were surprised that Trump would suggest they say publicly there was no collusion.

The president has repeatedly decried the Russia probe and denied collusion between his campaign and the Russians.

"After 7 months of investigations & committee hearings about my 'collusion with the Russians,' nobody has been able to show any proof. Sad!" Trump tweeted last week.

Earlier this month, both Rogers and Coates testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee and repeatedly refused to answer lawmakers' questions about their conversations with Trump in an open setting, though both said they never felt pressured by the president.
