Richard Grenell is expected to be nominated to serve as U.S. NATO ambassador
He says Susan Rice's role in unmasking Americans' names from classified foreign intelligence reports has been long discussed in State Department circles
Grenell believes the incidental collection of intel on Americans in Donald Trump's inner circle was weaponized into leaks meant to hurt the Republican
The former UN mission spokesman says if Rice was at the center of a plot to leak classified intel, former president Barack Obama must have been aware of it
Grenell first floated Rice's name, along with that of her political deputy Ben Rhodes, as potential culprits ten days ago

The diplomat who is in line to be America's next NATO ambassador said Monday that former National Security Advisor Susan Rice has been suspected 'for weeks' of involvement in an effort to publicly unmask Donald Trump associates whose names appeared in foreign intelligence reports.
And he claimed ten days ago that if Rice and her deputy Ben Rhodes were behind politically motivated leaks of classified intelligence, former president Barack Obama was also in the know.
'Former State Department colleagues of mine have been talking about Susan Rice's role for weeks,' Richard Grenell told DailyMail.com on Monday
'She and her team certainly were hyper-partisan throughout their tenure. It makes sense.'
