President Trump went after former CIA Director John Brennan, who described comments made by Trump during the Monday press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin as "treasonous."  Trump said in an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson: "I think Brennan is a very bad guy, and if you look at it, a lot of things happened under his watch. I think he's a very bad person."  Based on Brennan's Monday tweet, he isn't thrilled with Trump, either.  "Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was nothing short of treasonous," Brennan wrote. "Not only were Trump's comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???"  During the press conference, Trump cast doubt on the US intelligence community's findings that Russia made significant efforts to meddle in the 2016 election and appeared to accept the Russian leader's claim to the contrary. The US president commented: "I have president Putin, he just said it's not Russia. I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be."  He also cast aspersions on the FBI.
"You have groups that are wondering why the FBI never took the server," Trump said. "Why was the FBI told to leave the office of the Democratic National Committee? I've been wondering that. I've been asking that for months and months, and I've been tweeting it out and calling it out on social media. Where is the server?"
