Former Obama administration intelligence officials’ past statements don’t appear to match what newly declassified information shows about key aspects of their findings on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
President Donald Trump’s intelligence officials have been declassifying documents containing intelligence findings from the Obama administration on Russia and the 2016 election. The documents appear to contradict past statements by former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper during television interviews and before Congress.
For instance, Brennan said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in February 2018 that the discredited Steele Dossier “did not play any role whatsoever in the intelligence community assessments that was done that was presented to then President Obama and then President-elect Trump.”
