John Brennan: ‘I Am Clueless About What It Is Exactly That They May Be Investigating Me for’

Wallace: “My colleague Ken Dilanian is reporting that DoJ has essentially confirmed a criminal investigation has been opened or a referral has been made. Do you believe that to be true? And if that’s the case, what would the process be for you to be aware of that, made aware of that?”

BRENNAN: “Quite frankly, I don’t know what is true. You know, there are so many things that get out into the media bloodstream. And it’s interesting that it was, I think, Fox News and New York Post are reporting things like this. So, I don’t know whether or not there’s any validity to it. If there is — it was referral, if there is an investigation. Presumably, if there is an investigation that people will be questioned, I would be questioned about it. But, again, I’ve had no contact from them. But, again, I testified in front of many, many congressional committees in the House and the Senate over the years. And I continue to explain exactly what we did during this process, why we tried to make sure we stayed true to our intelligence responsibilities, and that we were not going to do anything at all to try to interfere in that election. And, again, it was a challenging time, but also one, I think, that the people who actually worked this, both in terms of trying to collect intelligence prior to the election and then the ones who put together the intelligence community assessment, they really, I think, showed the best of what the intelligence community and what CIA is made of. So again, I am clueless about what it is exactly that they may be investigating me for.”
