Here's another quote from the article:

Intelligence sources told The Telegraph that both Mr Spicer and General McMaster, the US National Security Adviser, have apologised over the claims. "The apology came direct from them," a source said.

It's based on an anonymous source.

Here's another quote from that same article:

"Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command - he didn't use the NSA, he didn't use the CIA, he didn't use the FBI and he didn't use the Department of Justice - he used GCHQ."

So we're going to discard what several anonymous sources said, but we will believe what some other anonymous source said?

The State Department has issued an apology to GCHQ via diplomatic channels.

Do you have a source for this?

Apparently a FISA request was made to wiretap Trump or people from his campaign. It was denied the first time, but a second one which narrowed the scope of surveillance got accepted.

Yet people seemed to be awfully calm when Obama was droning weddings. I'm not saying we should've put so much hate towards Obama as well, I'm saying we should put things into perspective.

Bombing predominately Muslim countries, overthrowing governments and covert black sites where Muslims get tortured. These are things that are acceptable, but a 90-day ban on immigrants coming from war-torn countries, that's a step too far? Has everyone seriously lost their mind?

After that, it didn't seem worth watching the videos because you have lost credibility in my eyes because I'm not sure you're arguing in good faith.

Well, that's pretty convenient isn't it. I don't think you're arguing in good faith either, so I'm going to ignore everything you're saying.

Calling it a terrorist attack would drive Trump's poll numbers up.

Would the CIA willingly do so much damage to the US? Surely there are other ways to sabotage the NSA instead of doing something as high profile as leaking NSA documents to the public. Besides, I think leaking classified documents of other intelligence agencies is something no agency does, because an escalation of this sort would be disastrous for both agencies involved.

Turkey’s recent-to-the-job prime minister, Binali Yildirim, announced: “I am sure that we will return ties with Syria to normal, we need it. We normalized our relations with Israel and Russia. I’m sure we will go back to normal relations with Syria as well.”

The prime minister said this a couple of days ago. A huge shift in policy and now suddenly a coup. I'm guessing Erdogan saw the writing on the wall and tried to shift gears, but it seems the military went ahead with the coup anyway.

You're clearly not following the Syrian civil war very closely if you think Russia's the one acting irresponsibly.

Literally all your comments are about how China's bad and how it's in deep trouble. These comments span back more than 100 days. I'm not sure you should be the one calling other people trolls.

I'm suggesting a higher-up or someone else suggested Tavis target Kaspersky. I'm not suggesting Google execs all sat together and decided to destroy Kaspersky.

Is it that hard to believe that there are certain people that would like to dissuade Kaspersky from revealing further information about state-sponsored malware? I'm not even sure where this incredulity is coming from? Let's see you target an intelligence agency and see what happens.

Into whose code? He found several bugs and is now writing about it. I'm not sure if I understand your question?

They've been gunning for Kaspersky ever since Kaspersky released information about state-sponsored malware.
