John Brennan on Suing the Trump Administration: Clearly, I Didn’t Come to This Decision Lightly

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: “Yeah. Well, Nicole, clearly, I didn’t come to the decision to launch this lawsuit against the Trump Administration, President Trump, and the Department of Justice, lightly. But as you and I have talked numerous times over the past 18 months, Donald Trump has been engaged in this campaign to punish individuals he considers his enemies. And I am being targeted by Donald Trump because I fulfilled my obligations in 2016 as director of the CIA to expose Russian interference in that presidential election of that year. And it was an intelligence community assessment that was put out by the FBI, CIA, NSA, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, that chronicled exactly what Vladimir Putin and the Russians were doing. Well, obviously, Donald Trump didn’t like that.”
