Former CIA Director John Brennan claims he’s “clueless” as to why the FBI would open a criminal probe against him and says he’s had “no contact” with federal authorities related to an investigation.
“Quite frankly, I don’t know what is true, you know,” Brennan told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace Wednesday in his first public remarks since reports emerged that he’s under investigation for potential criminal conduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.
“If it was a referral, if there is an investigation, presumably if there is an investigation, people will be questioned,” the former spy chief said. “I would be questioned about it, but again, I’ve had no contact from them.”
Brennan, who led the CIA under former President Barack Obama, is believed to be under investigation for lying to Congress about the Steele dossier, which contained salacious allegations tying President Trump to Russia.
