With the 2020 election approaching, Durham’s probe has become the subject of intense partisan fights. On Friday, Durham is likely to interview former CIA director John Brennan, according to a person familiar with the investigation. ADClinesmith, according to the documents, knew that if Page was a CIA source, that would have to be disclosed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. But in messages with the FBI agent, Clinesmith said Page was a “subsource” but “never a source,” according to the documents. ADBoasberg, who is presiding over Clinesmith’s case, has served on the secretive surveillance court since 2014.
