Undated: John
Owen Brennan (born September 22, 1955)[1][2]
is an American intelligence official who served as the
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from March 2013 to January
2017. He served as chief
counterterrorism advisor to
U.S. President
Barack
Obama, with the title
Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism,
and
Assistant to the President.[1][3][4]
Previously, he advised Obama on foreign policy and intelligence issues during
the 2008 election campaign and presidential transition.[5]
Brennan withdrew his name from consideration for Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the first Obama administration over
concerns about his support, after defending on TV the transferring of terror
suspects to countries where they might be tortured while serving under President
George W. Bush.[3][6]
Instead, Brennan was appointed Deputy National Security Advisor, a position
which did not require
Senate confirmation.[3][6][7]
Brennan's 25 years with the CIA included work as a
Near East
and South
Asia analyst, as station chief in
Saudi
Arabia, and as director of the
National Counterterrorism Center.[3][6][8]
After leaving government service in 2005, Brennan became CEO of
The Analysis Corporation, a security consulting business, and served as
chairman of the
Intelligence and National Security Alliance, an association of intelligence
professionals.[9]
Brennan served in the White House as
Assistant to the President for Homeland Security between 2009 and 2013.
Obama nominated Brennan as his next director of the CIA on January 7, 2013.[10][11]
The
ACLU called for the Senate not to proceed with the appointment until they
confirmed that "all of his conduct was within the law" at the CIA and White
House.[12]
Brennan was approved by the
Senate Intelligence Committee on March 5, 2013, to succeed
David Petraeus as the Director of the CIA by a vote of 12 to 3.[13]
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. I
will not relent."[14][15][16]
Brennan serves as a senior national security and intelligence analyst for
NBC News
and MSNBC. His
inaugural appearance was on
Meet the Press with Chuck Todd on Sunday, February 4, 2018.[17]
