“I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it,” Trump tweeted Friday.

NBC News on Thursday reported that U.S. intelligence found evidence of Russian officials celebrating Trump’s election.

The NBC report cited “a senior U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge” of the intel report that was delivered to President Obama on Thursday and is scheduled to be delivered to Trump on Friday.

"Highly classified intercepts illustrate Russian government planning and direction of a multifaceted campaign by Moscow to undermine the integrity of the American political system," NBC quotes the source saying.

“What you will see is that there were evolving goals over time. At the end, they were trying to elect Trump,” the source said.

The source added that the evidence of Russia's involvement in the hacks, and its goal of helping Trump, is clear.

A declassified version of the report is expected to be released to the public on Friday.

Congress is already playing a major role in the discussion over Russia's alleged role in Trump's victory, with a flurry of hearings on Capitol Hill this week and next.

NBC’s story came after The Washington Post first reported details from the review.

Trump first criticized NBC’s report on Thursday, tweeting : “How did NBC get 'an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?' Who gave them this report and why? Politics!”
