In an op-ed in the New York Times today, former CIA Director John Brennan, who had his security clearance stripped by the Trump White House, again accused President Trump of colluding with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
“Mr. Trump’s claims of no collusion are, in a word, hogwash.” – former CIA Director @JohnBrennan in @nytimes this morning. https://t.co/VG1h3EuPdJ

In light of Brennan’s op-ed, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-NC, painted Brennan into a corner with this statement:

Maybe Brennan can weigh in on the specifics there and help clear things up. #Crickets
