Brennan calls for Trump's ousting, citing 25th Amendment concerns
Former CIA director John Brennan has joined the growing calls for President Donald Trump to be removed from office, stating that the U.S. Constitution’s 25th Amendment was "written with Donald Trump in mind." In an interview on MS Now, Brennan described Trump as "clearly unhinged" and highlighted the dangers posed by his recent volatile remarks regarding Iran, including a threat to destroy Iranian civilization. Brennan emphasized that Trump, who has access to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, poses a significant risk to global safety.
Brennan's comments come amid increasing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, particularly following Trump's warning that Iran's "whole civilization will die tonight" if the regime does not comply with his demands. This rhetoric has spurred more than 70 Democrats in Congress to advocate for invoking the 25th Amendment, which allows for the president's removal if deemed unable to fulfill his duties. However, the likelihood of this action occurring remains low due to the unwavering loyalty of Vice President JD Vance and Trump's cabinet.
Brennan's remarks are particularly notable as he is currently under investigation by the Trump administration's Justice Department, which has been scrutinizing him and former FBI director James Comey. This investigation, described by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan as "heating up," reflects the ongoing tensions between Trump and former intelligence officials, further complicating the political landscape surrounding calls for Trump's removal.
