Journalist Sara Carter sheds new light on a 2016 private meeting at CIA headquarters, where she says then-CIA Director John Brennan asked her about President Donald Trump and Michael Flynn.
Speaking on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast, Carter described his heated sit-down with Brennan in 2016 and what he told her about the future.
“This was interesting. He asked me, ‘How do you feel about President-elect Trump and Michael Flynn?’ “Carter said of his 45-minute interview with Brennan in December 2016.
“I said to him, ‘How do you want me to feel about President-elect Trump and Michael Flynn?’ And it ended there,” he said, noting that while the interview was going on, the “chitchat” had ended.

Flynn, a retired Army general and incoming national security adviser, became the subject of an investigation after he spoke to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak on a wiretapping call monitored by the US intelligence community about sanctions imposed by former President Barack Obama.
Flynn’s name was redacted from the intelligence records of those calls, but declassified transcripts showed that Brennan later requested that Flynn’s identity be revealed. Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 after admitting he lied to the FBI about conversations involving sanctions. Trump pardoned Flynn in 2020.

Carter said he felt Brennan was trying to gauge his political integrity during the 2016 interview.
“I think he realized at that point that I wasn’t going to be played,” said Carter.
Carter now serves as the Trump administration’s director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, also known as the “drug lord.” In a statement after his confirmation, Carter vowed to fight narco-terrorists.

“This is a time of change for our nation. President Trump is putting the American people first. Under his leadership, we will reaffirm our basic right to live a healthy life,” said Carter.
“We will punish the drug terrorists who violate this right, who participate in the intentional poisoning of tens of thousands of Americans every year. They will no longer kill our families, friends, neighbors and even children with impunity.”
