On Monday President Donald Trump shared a statement made by former Secret Service agent and conservative commentator Dan Bongino, who criticized former CIA director John Brennan.
“John Brennan is panicking. He has disgraced himself, he has disgraced the Country, he has disgraced the entire Intelligence Community. He is the one man who is largely responsible for the destruction of Americans’ faith in the Intelligence Community and in some people at the……..top of the FBI,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
“Brennan started this entire debacle about President Trump. We now know that Brennan had detailed knowledge of the (phony) Dossier…he knows about the Dossier, he denies knowledge of the Dossier, he briefs the Gang of 8 on the Hill about the Dossier, which…….they then used to start an investigation about Trump,” the President added.
Trump also added his own thoughts by labeling the controversial dossier as “phony”.
“It is that simple. This guy is the genesis of this whole Debacle. This was a Political hit job, this was not an Intelligence Investigation. Brennan has disgraced himself, he’s worried about staying out of Jail.’ Dan Bongino,” Trump said.
The Washington Post reported that the President quoted Bongino from an appearance he made Monday on “Fox & Friends”.
Bongino hosts his own podcast, called “The Dan Bongino Show,” and has unsuccessfully run for the House and Senate several times. He is also a host for NRATV.
Brennan, who served as the CIA director during former President Barack Obama’s second term, has publicly criticized Trump.
“Mr. Trump: Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Jim Clapper is a man of integrity, honesty, ethics, & morality. You are not,” Brennan wrote on Twitter late last month, referring to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. “Jim Clapper served his country for over a half century, including in Vietnam. You did not. By your words & behavior, you diminish the Office of the Presidency.”
