Donald Trump’s CIA Director John Ratcliffe dropped a bombshell during a Fox News interview, saying that Hillary Clinton and several top Obama-era officials could be arrested and prosecuted over their role in the Trump-Russia investigation.
Speaking to Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Ratcliffe said the intelligence he reviewed shows a coordinated effort to spread false claims that Donald Trump colluded with Russia — and that some of those responsible may soon face justice.
“For a four-year period of time, the truth about the origins of the Russia collusion hoax was hidden from the American people,” Ratcliffe said. “And, unfortunately, Maria, as you recall, those same people were already at that point in time onto their next hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop. This was a month before the 2020 election.”
Ratcliffe confirmed that criminal referrals have already been sent to the Department of Justice. Those referrals target some of the biggest names from the Obama administration, including Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, and former CIA Director John Brennan.
Bartiromo pressed him on whether prosecutions were still possible given how much time has passed. Ratcliffe pointed to sworn testimony by all three individuals that took place within the last five years—well within the statute of limitations.
“You’re right, Maria. John Brennan testified to John Durham in August of 2020. He also testified to the House Oversight Committee in 2022. Hillary Clinton testified before John Durham under oath in 2022. James Comey testified before the Senate committee in September, 2020,” Ratcliffe said.
He added that much of that testimony “is frankly, completely inconsistent with what our underlying intelligence… reflects.”
Ratcliffe revealed that new intelligence is about to be made public as part of a classified annex to the Durham report. That material, he said, shows how the FBI and Clinton’s team worked in tandem to push a lie.
“What that intelligence shows, Maria, is that part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan to be an accelerant to that fake Steele Dossier, to those fake Russia collusion claims by pouring oil on the fire, by amplifying the lie and baring the truth of what Hillary Clinton was up to,” Ratcliffe explained.
Bartiromo asked again: could people be arrested and prosecuted?
“So what I think I hear you saying is there is still an opportunity for indictments, potential prosecutions, accountability from those people who may have lied under oath, like John Brennan, James Comey, and perhaps Hillary Clinton,” she said.
Ratcliffe responded directly: “Well, that’s why I’ve made the referrals that I have.”
He rejected claims that these efforts are about revenge or political payback.
“It’s not,” Ratcliffe said. “Donald Trump’s election by the American people was a statement, Maria. They said to everyone: We know what you did to Donald Trump, and we re-elected him because we know this was all fake, we know it was a hoax. Now we want to understand how you did it so that it can’t happen again.”
Ratcliffe said the evidence will speak for itself — and that if the DOJ acts, there could be real consequences for those involved in what he called a “hoax against the American people and this stain on our country.”
