President Donald Trump on Monday stated that he hopes that former CIA Director John Brennan will sue him for revoking his security clearance, CNN reported.
Trump tweeted that the lawsuit will have to reveal documents that “show not only the poor job he did but how he was involved with the Mueller Rigged Witch Hunt.”
“I hope John Brennan, the worst CIA Director in our country’s history, brings a lawsuit. It will then be very easy to get all of his records, texts, emails, and documents to show not only the poor job he did but how he was involved with the Mueller Rigged Witch Hunt. He won’t sue!”
Trump later in a second tweet accused dozens of former U.S. intelligence and national security officials, who have come to Brennan’s defense, of using their security clearance to make money.
“Everybody wants to keep their Security Clearance, it’s worth great prestige and big dollars, even board seats, and that is why certain people are coming forward to protect Brennan,” Trump wrote. “It certainly isn’t because of the good job he did! He is a political ‘hack’.”
Brennan on Sunday stated that he might sue the Trump administration in order to block the President from revoking other officials’ clearances.
“If my clearances and my reputation as I’m being pulled through the mud now if that’s the price we’re going to pay to prevent Donald Trump from doing this against other people to me it’s a small price to pay,” Brennan said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I’m going to do whatever I can personally to try to prevent these abuses in the future and if it means going to court, I will do that,” he added.
