Ex-CIA director James Woolsey splits with Trump

James Woosey has left the Trump transition team.

Woolsey apparently resigned after being cut out of intelligence talks with Trump and his national security adviser, retired general Michael Flynn, the Washington Post’s Philip Rucker reported.

Woolsey came under fire last week after implying to CNN’s Jim Sciutto that Trump could be “playing us” with regard to what he knows about Russia’s role in hacking the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign chairman John Podesta.

“There’s a possibility that he is [playing us] a little bit,” Woolsey said, referring to Trump’s statement at a New Year’s Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida that he would reveal what he knows about the hacking campaign on “Tuesday or Wednesday” of this week.

“Why not?” Woolsey added. “He [Trump] is not interfering with anything. He’s not talking about anything classified… This is a behavioral mode that he has perfected. He has a point, which is that it is entirely possible to have various definitions of hacking.”
