On January 20, 2017, Brennan's CIA appointment ended, and he
was replaced by President Trump's nominee Mike Pompeo on January 23, 2017.
On August 15, 2018, The White House Press Secretary read a
statement from President Trump dated July 26, 2018, in which he revoked
Brennan's security clearance.
The
statement said Brennan's "lying and recent conduct, characterized by
increasingly frenzied commentary, is wholly inconsistent with access to the
nation's most closely held secrets and facilitates the very aim of our
adversaries, which is to sow division and chaos". The statement said further, that Brennan had
"recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with
access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and
outrageous allegations – wild outbursts on the internet and television – about
this Administration"
On August 15, 2018, President Donald
Trump announced that he revoked Brennan's security clearance. Brennan
harshly criticized Trump several times since he was elected, and he responded
to the revocation by stating "My principles are worth far more than
clearances. One needs to wonder what principles are those?
