Brennan’s testimony before the House intelligence committee on Tuesday comes one day after Flynn invoked his constitutional right against self-incrimination in response to a subpoena from the Senate intelligence committee. Both the Senate and the House intelligence committees are investigating Flynn and other Trump campaign associates as part of probes into Russia’s election meddling. Trump’s national security leadership has said repeatedly that Russia is among the top threats because of its cyber capabilities. The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump asked Coats and the head of the National Security Agency to publicly deny that there had been collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign. Cummings asked the committee’s chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetzb (Republican-Utah), to subpoena the White House for documents related to Flynn.
