Former CIA Director John Brennan labeled President Donald Trump an"absolute abomination" as revelations from Bob Woodward's new book on the administration hit headlines this week.
The Obama-era intelligence chief pressed for the president to resign before saying Trump didn't have the"conscience or a soul" to quit the White House in light of details contained in Woodward's upcoming bookBrennan leveled his personal attack on Trump as Woodward released interview tape of the president telling the veteran journalist coronavirus was"more deadly" than the flu on February 7—weeks before he publicly recognized the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reacting to details from Trump's 18 interviews with Woodward, Brennan tweeted:"In his comments to Bob Woodward, Donald Trump reveals what an absolute abomination he is. Former CIA director John Brennan at a closed hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee on May 16, 2018. The ex-CIA boss has called Trump an 'abomination.'"If he had a conscience or a soul, he would resign. Tragically for us, he has neither."Woodward is slated to publish his second book on the Trump administration on September 15, but several excerpts and passages have already picked up a lot of media coverage and drawn the ire of the president.
