"Mr. Trump’s claims of no collusion are, in a word, hogwash," wrote Brennan. "The only questions that remain are whether the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion or conspiracy, and how many members of 'Trump Incorporated' attempted to defraud the government by laundering and concealing the movement of money into their pockets."
Citing the op-ed, Burr issued a rebuttal on Thursday that concisely picked apart Brennan's arguments.
"Director Brennan’s recent statements purport to know as fact that the Trump campaign colluded with a foreign power," said Burr. "If Director Brennan’s statement is based on intelligence he received while still leading the CIA, why didn’t he include it in the Intelligence Community Assessment released in 2017? If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach. If he has some other personal knowledge of or evidence of collusion, it should be disclosed to the Special Counsel, not The New York Times."
