National security advisor Mike Flynn resigned last night from his White House role over allegations of Kremlin ties.

And now it’s alleged that Trump’s own relationship with Russia is causing blowback amongst intelligence chiefs.

The result is that the President is now being denied crucial intelligence, according to a top spy official.

Quoted by the New York Observer, a source in the National Security Agency source said the “good stuff” was kept back.

For three weeks, the report claims, Trump has been denied “enormously sensitive intelligence” amid fears about him and his staff.

And the NSA isn’t the only agency involved – a senior Pentagon source told the same newspaper that they assumed the White House was compromised.

"Since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the SITROOM," they said, referring to the White House Situation Room.

The situation room is where the President and his advisors can securely communicate with persons overseas, including US forces.

Describing their frustration, the Pentagon source added: "There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point."

It’s also claimed that Trump is reckless towards the President’s Daily Brief, a sensitive intelligence file.

Until now, he’s reportedly had Flynn summarise it in a single page of, at most, nine bulletpoints.

Sometimes the President is alleged to have blown off the briefing altogether, apparently to the relief of some spooks.

John Schindler, the former NSA analyst who authored the Observer report, said that Trump had got himself in a "risky situation".

He wrote: "In the event of a serious international crisis… [he] will need the best intelligence possible to prevent war, possibly even nuclear war.

"It may not get the information it needs in that hour of crisis,” he concluded, “and for that [he] has nobody to blame but itself."
