Sounds like someone in IC was trying to keep the whole story out of the press, even if it means not informing anyone in civilian leadership.
It could be that the president was informed, and he forgot about it, deliberately or not. But why wasn't the gang of eight informed?

That's easy to answer and has already been answered.  The intelligence leak to the NYT was never deemed "credible".  It was part of an ongoing investigation.  Unless a possible threat is considered credible, there are no briefings to senior officials.

But RUSSIA!
