Sara Carter Says Brennan Quizzed Her on Trump, Flynn in 45-Minute 2016 CIA Meeting

Sara Carter said John Brennan asked her in a December 2016 CIA meeting how she felt about President-elect Donald Trump and Michael Flynn, turning what she described as a 45-minute interview abruptly tense.
Carter told Sean Hannity's podcast she believed the then-CIA director was testing her political loyalty, saying the "chitchat" ended after she replied, "How do you want me to feel?"
Flynn was already under scrutiny in the FBI's 2016 Crossfire Hurricane probe, and declassified records later showed Brennan requested Flynn's identity be unmasked in intelligence transcripts.
That history became more politically charged after Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI, then received a Trump pardon in 2020.
Carter, now Trump's drug czar, cast the episode as an early sign of what Trump allies later called the weaponization of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement.
