James Clapper: Trump is 'making Russia great again'

ASPEN, Colo. — Top former U.S. intelligence officials who helped author the assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections voiced searing criticism Friday of President Trump's continuing disregard for the undisputed conclusions and his repeated rebukes of the U.S. intelligence services.

Former National Intelligence Director James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan held nothing back during a panel discussion hosted by the Aspen Security Forum. They seized on a stream of Trump's tweets in which he accused officials of leaking unsubstantiated information about the president and compared the alleged actions to the gestapo tactics of "Nazi Germany.''

Brennan called Trump's "disparagement" of the intelligence institutions as "disgraceful," adding that he should be "ashamed."
