John Brennan was interviewed Friday by U.S. Attorney John Durham as part of the review of any misconduct related to the origins of the Russia probe, but the former CIA director was assured he’s not a target in the investigation, a Brennan spokesman said. “Earlier today Brennan was informed by Mr. Durham that he is not a subject or a target of a criminal investigation and that he is only a witness to events that are under review,” said Nick Shapiro, a Brennan spokesman. In May, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany argued Brennan has “the most to answer” of any Obama administration official when it comes to the origins of the Russia investigation. The attorney, Kevin Clinesmith, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a false statement charge. Fox News’ Mike Emanuel and Morgan Phillips and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
