President Says He Got "Tremendous Response" After Revoking John Brennan's Security Clearance

Before departing on Marine One, President Trump took questions from reporters on the White House South Lawn. He defended his decision to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, a critic of the president, saying he has got a "tremendous response" for taking the action. He also says he is not silencing his critics and has given Brennan a bigger voice. The president also attacked Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, calling him a "disgrace" and saying that the Mueller probe, which he maintained is a "witch hunt," should be looking at Mr. Ohr and his wife. The president said he is looking at taking away his security clearance, as well. close
