Grenell dodges on run for California governor as Newsom recall heats up
Fox News
Ric Grenell, the former ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence under former President Trump’s administration, avoided a question Sunday on whether he intends to run for the governor of California if Democrat Gavin Newsom is recalled.
"Let's get to the bottom of this. They're blaming President Trump, but they were briefed or at least they were supposed to be briefed, or at least their staff was briefed," Grenell told host Maria Bartiromo Sunday. "So, we really cannot understand who was briefed and what was briefed until the intelligence community leadership comes before the House or the Senate and opens up and tells us, what did you know and who did you tell and who didn't react?" Grenell said a "political show" is going on to continue to place blame on Trump for the insurrection, reacting also to an internal email obtained by Fox 5 DC suggesting that members of the National Guard might remain in Washington, D.C. until the fall of 2021. The National Security Council is asking the Department of Defense to engage Capitol police on planning for post-March 12 support, and there is a scheduled meeting for agencies to discuss the matter on Feb. 17.More Related News
