Criminal probe into the Trump-Russia collusion investigation zeros in on Obama's CIA director: Prosecutor demands John O. Brennan hand over his private emails and call logs to find out what he told Comey and his thoughts on the Steele dossier
U.S. Attorney John H. Durham, the federal prosecutor probing the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, is honing in on former CIA director John O. Brennan
Durham requested Brennan's emails, call longs and other CIA documents
He wants to see what Brennan told other officials, including former FBI director James B. Comey about his and the CIA's view of the Trump-Russia dossier
Durham will assess whether Brennan privately contradicted his public comments, including his May 2017 testimony, on that dossier
Brennan served as CIA director from March 2013 to January 2017
The probe into the Trump-Russia investigation first started as an administration review in October, but later turned into a criminal investigation
The federal prosecutor probing the origins of the government's Trump-Russia investigation is examining the role of former CIA director John O. Brennan and has requested his communication records.
U.S. Attorney John H. Durham, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, is investigating the origins of the FBI's investigation into Russia led by Attorney General William P. Barr in May.
At first the inquiry was an administrative review in October, but later turned into a criminal investigation.
Now Durham is honing in on the communications of ex-CIA Director Brennan by requesting his emails, call longs and other documents from the CIA, a source briefed on the inquiry said to the New York Times.
Durham wants to know what Brennan told other officials - including former FBI director James B. Comey - about his and the CIA's views of the dossier that first raised concerns about Russia and Trump associates.
That document, known as the Steele dossier, was a private intelligence report written from June to December 2016 that alleged misconduct, conspiracy and cooperation between Donald Trump's campaign in the 2016 election and the government of Russia.
Durham is also investigating whether Brennan privately contradicted his public comments, including statements made in his May 2017 testimony to Congress.
Brennan served as the director of the CIA from March 2013 to January 2017 under President Barack Obama.
During his time in office he was a harsh critic of President Donald Trump and in the end he was ungracefully booted from the White House when Trump revoked his security clearance.
In August 2016, Brennan said Trump's claim of no collusion with Russia was 'hogwash'.
