On Thursday morning, President Donald Trump spoke out on the recent revelations dropped by DNI Richard Grenell, showing that former Vice President Joe Biden, former FBI director James Comey, former CIA chief John Brennan and more all personally requested to unmask former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
The President called on Republican senators, specifically Senator Lindsey Graham to have former President Barack Obama testify under oath.
“If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama. He knew EVERYTHING. Do it @LindseyGrahamSC, just do it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!” he tweeted.
On Wednesday afternoon, Grenell officially released the names of Obama administration officials who requested the unmasking of former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
The names include former Vice President Joe Biden, former FBI director James Comey, former CIA chief John Brennan and more.
Check out what Fox News reported:
Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has released a list of names of Obama administration officials who purportedly requested to “unmask” the identity of Michael Flynn during the presidential transition period.
The list features top figures including then-Vice President Joe Biden, then-FBI Director James Comey and intelligence chiefs John Brennan and James Clapper. It also included Obama’s then-chief of staff.
“I declassified the enclosed document, which I am providing to you for your situational awareness,” Grenell wrote to GOP senators in sending along the list.
While Lindsey Graham appears to be sitting back and doing very little, Senators like Rand Paul are taking action.
While speaking to reporters, Paul said, “Yesterday I sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence, Ric Grenell concerning declassification of which Obama administration officials asked to unmask General Flynn.”
