WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump seemingly followed the advice of his new friend, Sen. Rand Paul, when he revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan.
It was an angry Paul who last month called for Brennan's clearance to be yanked, after Brennan called Trump's appearance at a news conference with Russian leader Vladimir Putin "nothing short of treasonous."
Paul assailed Brennan in a Fox News interview as "completely unhinged" and a "Trump hater" and in a series of tweets July 23, said he planned to meet with Trump at the White House and tell him that "John Brennan and other partisans should have their security clearances revoked."
