Ex-CIA Chief John Brennan Complains After Losing Security Clearance, Claims Trump ‘Misrepresented Facts’

by

Disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan is complaining to the corporate media after he was stripped of his security clearance by President Donald Trump.

During an interview with MSNBC, Brennan claimed that Trump “misrepresented the facts” on the Hunter Biden laptop story.

As Slay News reported, Brennan was among dozens of high-profile intelligence officials to be stripped of their coveted security clearance.

Trump signed an executive order to revoke the security clearances of the 51 former intel officials who signed the 2020 letter to help former President Joe Biden’s election campaign.

The letter claimed that the release of emails from Hunter’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Many of them were open supporters at the time of Biden’s presidential campaign against Trump.

The signatories said in the letter they did not know if the emails “are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement — just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.”

Brennan, who was among the signers, called the executive order “bizarre” and claimed Trump distorted the letter.

“Signatories of the letter falsely suggested that the news story was part of a Russian disinformation campaign,” Trump’s executive order said of “the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign.”

Speaking to MSNBC, Brennan said:

“[Trump] misrepresented the facts in that executive order because it said that we had suggested that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.”

“No, we said it was all the hallmarks of Russian information operations, including the dumping of accurate information, which is what we said in that letter.”

“So, again, this was just, you know, his effort to try to get back at those individuals who have criticized him openly and publicly in the past, and I think very legitimately,” he said.
