Sen. Mark Warner says intel community "terrified of showing" information to Bill Pulte

Sen. Mark Warner, the lead Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that "heads of our intelligence community" have told him that they are "terrified of showing" information to Bill Pulte, who President Trump named as acting Director of National Intelligence when Tulsi Gabbard leaves the post.
