  There's a chronological link between Trump's original condemnation and when he would've been watching a FOX News piece where Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) was badmouthing the Intel CEO. Absent evidence that Intel is being targeted for extortion (like with Paramount/CBS) the likely difference here is just that Trump had heard something different from the last person he talked to before giving his own opinion.

    Seems like you could effectively change US policy by buying a block of ads on that network.
