RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
Published March 25, 2019 10:50pm EDT
Former Director
of National Intelligence James
Clapper, who had
questioned President Trump's judgment multiple times during Special Counsel Robert
Mueller's
Russia investigation, tried defending his commentary on Monday
after the release of the findings from the Mueller report.
On the White
House lawn, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders had challenged Congress to call Obama
administration officials to testify, including Clapper, former CIA
Director John Brennan and
former FBI Director James Comey, who she claimed “perpetuated this absurd lie”
that President Trump was a “foreign agent” for Russia.
Clapper, a CNN national security analyst, responded by suggesting that Sanders
was “confusing” collusion with Russian interference, telling Anderson Cooper
that he was “tasked” by then-President Obama to put together the reports on
Russian interference in the 2016 election. He insisted that he had been
“consistent” shortly following Trump’s inauguration that “we didn’t have enough
evidence” at the time and that the Mueller probe would “resolve it once and for
all.”
“Do you regret
anything you have said in terms of raising questions about the president’s
behavior or anything the president has done or said?” Cooper asked.
“No, I don’t,”
Clapper answered. “I have my concerns as do others and I have tried to be
factual and temperate-minded about it but I do have my concerns and no, I don’t
have any regrets.”
In December 2017,
Clapper told CNN that
Russian President Vladimir Putin “knows how to handle an asset, and that’s
what he’s doing with” Trump.
The previous
summer, after Trump held a raucous rally in Phoenix, Clapper reacted: “I
really question his ability to be, his fitness to be in this office and I also
am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it. maybe he is looking for a
way out.”
Earlier Monday,
Brennan walked back his previous commentary to MSNBC viewers claiming more
indictments were coming that would prove collusion between the Trump campaign
and Russia as well as obstruction of justice committed by the president.
“I don’t know if
I received bad information, but I think I suspected there was more than there
actually was,” Brennan said.
