John Brennan, the former CIA Director, responded to reports that he is now under criminal investigation by the FBI.
In a friendly interview on MSNBC, Brennan downplayed the FBI’s criminal investigation into him, claiming it’s “made up out of whole cloth” and politically motivated.
“They’re just trying to see what they can get to stick to the media wall,” Brennan said.
Brennan also took aim at former DNI John Ratcliffe, who referred him for criminal investigation:
“It’s beneath the dignity of a CIA Director to do things like that,” Brennan said, accusing Ratcliffe of spreading “allegations that have no evidentiary basis whatsoever.”
“I think the SSCI report, the Mueller investigation, the Durham review — all of this validates what happened.”

Brennan, Comey Both Under FBI Criminal Investigation
As reported by Fox News Digital, both John Brennan and James Comey are now being investigated by the FBI for their roles in the Trump–Russia smear campaign — a conspiracy launched with the help of the Clinton-funded Steele Dossier, pushed into official assessments by Brennan himself.
Documents declassified by Ratcliffe show that Brennan briefed Obama, Biden, and Comey in 2016 that Clinton’s campaign had approved a plan to tie Trump to Russia — yet Brennan and Comey moved forward anyway.
Trump Responds: “Crooked as Hell — Maybe They Have to Pay a Price”
President Donald Trump, speaking Wednesday about the probe, did not hold back:
“I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people, so whatever happens, happens.”
“Maybe they have to pay a price for that.”
Trump has long called for accountability for the officials who used fabricated intelligence, false warrants, and media collusion to try to take down his presidency.
