Obama-era intelligence heads attempted to counter the Office of Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) disclosures in an op-ed Wednesday regarding the original 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 election.
The New York Times (NYT) guest essay, written by former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper, still leaves several questions open regarding actions taken to finalize the ICA.
Brennan and Clapper hold to the findings of the original ICA that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a “clear preference” for Trump.
