Scarborough: ‘It Is Deeply Perplexing’ To a Lot of People Why Brian Hook’s Security Clearance Got Pulled

TRANSCRIPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Well, you know, Mika, and what's so fascinating about this list is, of course, people have seen that John Bolton has been critical of Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo not so much so, though. But Brian Hook, what’s so fascinating about Brian Hook is — and some of the people in Washington are asking the question why — he’s a guy who, you know, kept his head down, a professional, a professional who’s an envoy to Iran, and didn’t get out there attacking anybody, stayed nonpolitical. So it is — it is deeply perplexing to a lot of people why his security clearance got pulled. And of course, obviously disturbing that the others, too, did, when, again, like President Trump, they are under direct threat from the Iranian government."
