This isn't "fake news." It is old news.

CNN)Two of the nation's top intelligence officials told Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team and Senate investigators, in separate meetings last week, that President Donald Trump suggested they say publicly there was no collusion between his campaign and the Russians, according to multiple sources. 

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers described their interactions with the President about the Russia investigation as odd and uncomfortable, but said they did not believe the President gave them orders to interfere, according to multiple sources familiar with their accounts.

 

Notes:   Mostl of the Fake News we read,  originated with CNN.  The actual headline to the above excerpt reads:  Intel chiefs tell investigators Trump suggested they refute collusion with Russians.

 

Understand that Trump had been told by these men along with Comey,  that there was no evidence for collusion, and,  that he was not under investigation.  With that in mind,  it is only natural that President Trump asked these men to make those statements public.  That is all that is going on here.
