Brennan was told he was "not the subject or target" of a criminal investigation, according to his spokesman.
Former CIA Director John Brennan was interviewed for eight hours on Friday by U.S. Attorney John Durham as part of Durham's ongoing review of the origins of the investigation launched into Russia's 2016 election interference, according to a statement released by Brennan's spokesperson.
Durham, the U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut, was tasked over a year ago by Attorney General Bill Barr to lead an investigation of the FBI's probe of Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. As part of his inquiry, Durham is also known to be examining the intelligence community's analytic assessments of Moscow's intentions, including those made public in the 2017 document laying out the conclusions of several U.S. agencies.
Story continuesShapiro said Brennan"questioned why the analytic tradecraft and the findings of the ICA are being scrutinized" during Friday's interview, though he otherwise praised Durham and his team for their professionalism.
