In a New York Times opinion piece last month, former CIA director John Brennan, FCRH ’77, described President Donald Trump’s claims that there was no collusion with the Russians during the 2016 election as “hogwash.” So it was no surprise that Brennan, a distinguished fellow at Fordham Law’s Center on National Security, took Trump to task again at a September 4 event at Fordham Law.
