U.S. Attorney John Durham interviewed former President Obama’s CIA chief John Brennan on Friday as part of his probe into the Obama administration’s investigation of the Trump campaign, according to a report.
Brennan’s spokesman Nick Shapiro said in a statement that the interview took place at the CIA headquarters and lasted for eight hours, the Associated Press (AP) reported late Friday.
Shapiro claimed that Durham told Brennan that he is not a subject or target of a criminal investigation and that he is only a witness to events under review, according to his statement.
Durham’s interview of Brennan comes on the heels of his first criminal indictment, of ex-FBI Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty to doctoring an email to falsely say that former Trump campaign aide Carter Page was “not a source†for the CIA — information that may have prevented the FBI from continuing to wiretap Page.
Brennan was not only involved in the 2017 intelligence community assessment that claimed Russia had interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump, but he was also present during key events, such as a January 2017 Oval Office meeting where then-President Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice discussed an FBI investigation into Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser.
