The former CIA director under President Barack Obama asked Republican lawmakers to publicly condemn Russian interference in the presidential election but they refused.
John Brennan, who led the intelligence service last year, told PBS Frontline that he presented lawmakers with evidence that Russia was attempting to influence the U.S. election, according to the Washington Post.
In those briefings of Congress, some of the individuals expressed concern that this was motivated by partisan interests on the part of the [Obama] administration, Brennan told PBS, and I took offense to that. I told them that this is an intelligence assessment, that this is an intelligence matter.
Its not clear what evidence Brennan presented during the briefing, but he told PBS his conclusion was backed by U.S. intelligence, and he asked lawmakers for a bipartisan response to the foreign interference.
