seems to confirm the intel and that they're attempting to shift any culpability by suggesting that Trump was unaware of it.

What was the White House's statement? What I saw was that they weren't commenting on the intelligence itself, but denied Trump was told this specific piece of info. It may be this piece of info was never verified or lacked evidence so it was a topic being followed, but it never became a reality.
