| VIDEO ‐ Russia Hoax: James Clapper Has Lawyered Up as Scrutiny Intensifies |
| 2025-07-25 |
| [Breitbart] Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has taken action to protect himself amid scrutiny regarding the Russia hoax that targeted President Donald Trump in 2016. Speaking with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday, Clapper said he had already taken precautions, the Washington Examiner reported on Thursday. Collins asked, “So, what will you do if they come after you?” to which he replied, “Well, I’ll lawyer up, I suppose. I already have.” The Examiner article said the Trump administration has accused intelligence officials of falsifying information to claim there was Russian interference in the 2016 election that helped push Trump to victory. The outlet noted Clapper told then-President Barack Obama and his administration in December 2016 that “foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. Presidential election outcome,” but Obama’s administration chose to “create a new intelligence community assessment, which it ultimately completed on Jan. 6, 2017, that would include aggressive claims about Russian interference and Russia’s intent to help Trump.” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified a 46-page House Intelligence Committee report from late 2020 that she said showed how Obama’s (D) administration “manufactured” an assessment to push the Russia collusion hoax, Breitbart News reported on Wednesday.
