Former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper made misleading claims in an op-ed on Wednesday defending their role at the beginning of the collusion investigation into President Donald Trump in 2016.
Writing for the New York Times, Brennan and Clapper pushed back on evidence released over the past several weeks by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Both have declassified material related to the creation of a 2017 intelligence community assessment, or ICA, that concluded, apparently without credible evidence, that Russia aspired to help Trump win the election. The FBI then spent years digging into whether Trump aided Russia in achieving that goal.
