Ron Klain: Brennan Was in Sit Room Overseeing Killing of Bin Laden While Trump Was Hosting Celebrity Apprentice

EXCERPT:

KLAIN: "Look, look, I mean, on May 2nd, 2011, Donald Trump was busy hosting 'Celebrity Apprentice' on NBC. John Brennan was in the Situation Room overseeing the killing of Osama bin Laden, which he had helped plan and organize. To lose his access to his expertise, to lose access to the wisdom and experience he has, is just the government cutting off its nose to spite Donald Trump’s face. And that’s really what’s going on here. It’s an -- it's an effort by Trump to exclude the ability of his government to talk to Brennan, to punish Brennan to try to send a signal. It’s the kind of thing that really does happen in banana republics. It shouldn’t happen here in the United States."
