Amid an avalanche of daily revelations about the investigation into links between Donald Trump’s inner circle and Russia, the House Intelligence Committee will hear testimony on Tuesday from former CIA Director John Brennan. The lawmakers plan to question Brennan about “Russian active measures during the 2016 election campaign” designed to aid Trump and damage the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.
Watch live below:
Not watching, but judging from David Corn’s Twitter, this is much more exciting than the other hearing.
Fine questioning by Trey Gowdy! (If you hate Trump).
Fellow in lower right corner of Brennan’s CU is the spittin’ image of Napoleon, btw…
I wish Brennan would say something like “Collusion implies secrecy, but when Trump asked Putin to deliver leaks, he went further than collusion”
■ John O. Brennan, the former director of the C.I.A., said publicly for the first time Tuesday that he was concerned about possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
■ A new report says that President Trump asked two intelligence officials to deny the existence of any evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia. Both of those officials are testifying before lawmakers on Tuesday.
He said he left office in January with many unanswered questions about the Russian influence operation.
