House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News the testimony his panel heard in private from Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan “confirmed” the letter signed by 51 current and former intel officials was not on-the-level.
“[Brennan] sat for a four-hour interview and he further confirmed that this thing was all political,” Jordan said on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
Jordan recounted his allegation that then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken was the “impetus” behind the letter, which he said was organized in-part by former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, who testified before the Judiciary Committee earlier in May.
He also took issue with reaction from a member of his committee, Rep. Daniel Goldman, D-N.Y.
“And he presented it as if it was all organic — just shazam! It just happened out of the goodness of all these individuals’ hearts. They wanted to do this as if there was no political motivation whatsoever, and we know that was not accurate.”
Jordan concluded by revealing the panel plans to invite another top signatory — Obama-era Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — in for questioning next week.
