Considering the amount of access they have to the White House: why would you assume that they haven't?

  The white house is above the NSA and FBI, so wouldn't access to their bosses preclude them being coerced?

    On the org chart it may be, but when the three letter mafia is blackmailing you what can you do, even as the president?

      You can fire them, have them arrested, and/or have them disappear to anywhere you like. Presidents are pretty powerful.

      If you actually wanted to do something, call them out on it. Blackmail is highly illegal, and if it actually goes anywhere, your VP can always pardon you.
