The main stream press is reporting that Trump is asking intelligence agencies for reports that justify policies... such as the travel ban. There is a difference between asking for a report to justify a policy and asking for a report on how effective a policy might be. He has already committed to a policy on political ground, and is asking the intelligence agencies to produce propaganda to justify the politics. They are in at least some cases declining.
In this he is following the example of the previous Republican president.
