According to NBC News, a review ordered by Attorney General William Barr and conducted by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham has been expanded “significantly” and now includes two high-profile, vocal critics of President Trump that held key positions in the Obama administration: former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan. The review, new developments suggest, could also be morphing into an official criminal investigation.
Citing multiple current and former federal officials, including Brennan himself, NBC reported Saturday that Durham “has expressed his intent to interview a number of current and former intelligence officials involved in examining Russia’s effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.” Among the former officials are Clapper, who now works as a national security analyst for CNN, and Brennan, whose security clearance Trump famously revoked in 2018.
