Russia Investigators Curious Of Brennan

Brennan played a 'prominent role' in Russia probe.

According to "Russian Roulette," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid believed Brennan was using him as a conduit to publicize possible links between Trump campaign associates and the Russian government.

Brennan's contacts with Reid - and other activities during the 2016 presidential campaign - are of "Significant" interest to congressional investigators trying to figure out the ex-spy's early role in the Russia investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation is told.

"By his own account, Brennan played a prominent role in starting the investigation of Trump's team," a congressional source with direct knowledge of the House of Representatives' Russia investigations tells TheDCNF. "Investigators in Congress suspect there are important details about his role that he hasn't revealed, and we're trying to get to the bottom of it."

According to "Russian Roulette," by Yahoo! News chief investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff and David Corn, the Washington bureau chief of the left-wing Mother Jones magazine, Brennan contacted Reid on Aug. 25, 2016 to brief him on the state of Russia's interference in the presidential campaign.

Congressional investigators are interested in finding out if Brennan, who is now an MSNBC analyst, pressured Congress or the FBI to reveal details of the Russia investigation.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence recently sent Brennan and other top Obama administration officials letters with a list of questions about their actions during the Russia probe.
