FBI Investigates Brennan, Comey Over Russia Probe Allegations

News summary

President Donald Trump criticized former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey amid reports of criminal investigations into their roles in the 2016 Russia election interference probe, calling them "crooked as hell" and suggesting they "may have to pay a price." The FBI is reportedly investigating allegations that Brennan and Comey lied to Congress during the Russia investigation, a probe initiated after former CIA Director John Ratcliffe presented possible evidence of wrongdoing. Brennan denied any contact from the Department of Justice or intelligence agencies regarding the investigations and condemned the politicization of national security, calling it a "sad and tragic example." A recently declassified CIA report accuses Brennan and others of manipulating the Trump-Russia investigation and including the unverified Steele Dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment despite warnings about its credibility. White House officials have echoed Trump's condemnation, accusing Brennan and Comey of betraying the Constitution and lying to Congress. These developments reflect ongoing political tensions surrounding the intelligence community's handling of the 2016 election interference and the enduring fallout from the Trump-Russia probe.
