US attorney reportedly ‘very interested’ in interviewing former CIA Director Brennan and former DNI Clapper
John Durham, the U.S. attorney tasked with investigating the origins of the FBIâs counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016, is expected to seek an interview with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, following an expansion of his investigation.
It was reportedly the meetings that Durham and Attorney General William Barr recently had in Romeâwhere they obtained new evidenceâthat were the impetus for the broadening of the scope of the probe.
According to Fox Newsâ Catherine Herridge, her sources told her that Durham is now âvery interested to questionâ Brennan and Clapper.
According to Herridge, the meetings âtook place on Aug. 15 and Sept. 27, 2019, in Rome,â and it was during one or both of these trips that Barr and Durham âgathered new evidence.â
The news comes following months of speculation about whether the former top Obama officials would be questioned over their involvement in the investigation and spying on the Trump campaign.
It was recently revealed in a court motion by the lawyer for former national security adviser Michael Flynn that the Justice Department (DOJ) had obtained two cell phones belonging to Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese professor who has been cited as playing a key role in the FBIâs determination to open its probe of the Trump campaign.
