Ex CIA Chief Says Russians Contacted Trump Campaign

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 23, 2017

Former CIA Director John Brennan testified before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, telling investigators that Russia "brazenly interfered" in US elections. Brennan said he saw no proof of collusion between Trump associates and Russian intelligence before he left office on Jan. 20, but he “felt as though the FBI investigation was certainly well-founded.”

Mark Mazzetti, Washington Investigations Editor, talks about how John Brennan's testimony shed new light on how the federal investigation into Russian election meddling began.
