Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist, has claimed that former intelligence officials James Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan played a role in undermining Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory by allegedly orchestrating efforts to de-legitimize his win. The CEO made this assertion during a discussion on ‘The Will Cain Show’, where he referenced recent actions by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the current Director of National Intelligence.
Gabbard recently sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) based on allegations that the Obama administration fabricated the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. Davis argued that these actions were part of a broader strategy to tarnish Trump’s reputation and challenge the legitimacy of his 2016 election victory. The controversy stems from ongoing debates about the origins and integrity of the investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The discussion on ‘The Will Cain Show’ brought attention to the political implications of these allegations and the role of intelligence agencies in shaping public perception of political events. While the DOJ has not yet commented on the details of the criminal referral, the controversy highlights deepening tensions over the handling of intelligence matters during the Trump administration.
