An official at the Department of Homeland Security said in a whistleblower complaint released Wednesday that he was pressured by agency leaders to suppress details in his intelligence reports that President Trump might find objectionable, including intelligence on Russian interference in the election and the threat posed by white supremacists.
Brian Murphy says in the whistleblower complaint filed with the agency’s inspector general that he was demoted for refusing to alter his intelligence reports in an “illegal and improper” manner.
Murphy, a former FBI agent and Marine Corps veteran, had served as principal deputy undersecretary in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis.
