New York Times columnist David Brooks has called for 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke and former CIA Director John Brennan to apologize for their comments about President Trump during special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
“It’s clear that many Democrats made grievous accusations against the president that are not supported by the evidence,” Brooks wrote Monday. “It’s clear that people like Beto O’Rourke and John Brennan owe Donald Trump a public apology.”
Brooks quotes O’Rourke, a former Democratic member of Congress as saying: “You have a president who, in my opinion, beyond a shadow of a doubt, sought to, however ham-handedly, collude with the Russian government, a foreign power, to undermine and influence our elections.”
The columnist also quotes Brennan in calling Trump’s behavior “treasonous.”
