Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard inadvertently hampered the Justice Department’s investigation into former CIA director John Brennan by withdrawing the security clearances of potential witnesses who could have testified against him, according to a report.
Gabbard announced a probe into Brennan and other Barack Obama-era security officials in July after accusing them of meddling in a 2017 intelligence assessment about the extent of Russian hacking in the previous year’s U.S. presidential election to emphasize the opinion that it was carried out to Donald Trump’s advantage.
