An email exchange between Trump transition team spokeswoman Alexa Henning and Newsweek reporter Sophie Grace Clark appears to expose a concerted effort to smear Director of National Intelligence (DNI) nominee Tulsi Gabbard as a pro-Russia, pro-Assad flunkie.
Clark alleges in now-published e-mails that her story is “merely providing context around [Gabbard’s] choice” as a cabinet pick, but the London-based reporter, formerly of “celeb” magazines such as OK!, outright rejected materials provided by the Trump transition that undermine her claims.
