Trump on outgoing CIA director: ‘Was this the leaker of Fake News?’
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Sunday night about outgoing CIA Director John Brennan, questioning if he’s the “leaker of Fake News?”
Trump’s first tweet quoted a Fox News headline that read, “CIA’s Brennan warns Trump, says he doesn’t ‘fully understand’ Russia threat” and added commentary of his own.
“Oh really, couldn’t do … much worse – just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?

{mosads}The president-elect last week blasted intelligence agencies after it was reported that Trump had been briefed on an unverified dossier alleging Russia had compromising information on him.
Brennan said Sunday that the president-elect needs to be disciplined about what he says publicly and criticized Trump for likening the actions of the intelligence community to those of Nazis.
