Former CIA Director John Brennan 'clueless' about why FBI would investigate him

Former CIA Director John Brennan stated he is 'clueless' about why the FBI would investigate him for alleged wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia collusion probe. Justice Department sources indicated that current CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution, citing Brennan's handling of the 2017 Russia collusion investigation. An investigation into former FBI Director James Comey is also reportedly underway. Brennan maintains he stands by his work and has not been contacted by the DOJ. The investigation follows a declassified 'lessons learned' review of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), which found procedural anomalies and criticized the inclusion of the discredited Steele dossier, a decision Brennan reportedly pushed for despite his previous testimony.
