Obama CIA director slams Trump’s ‘self-aggrandizement’

Former CIA Director John Brennan criticized President Trump ‘s decision Saturday to address agency officials while standing in front of a wall memorializing fallen agents, arguing Trump “should be ashamed of himself” for choosing that location for a speech that included jokes about the media and about agents’ support for his campaign. “Former CIA Director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump ‘s despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA’s Memorial Wall of Agency heroes,” the former Obama official said in a statement circulated to reporters.
