Sean Davis of The Federalists reports a former Obama administration defense official has testified under oath that she lied during an interview on MSNBC.
A newly declassified congressional transcript shows that Evelyn Farkas admitted she lied when she told MSNBC she had evidence of alleged collusion. Her testimony came during a June 26, 2017 House Permanent Select Committee hearing on alleged Russian investigation interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Lawmakers keyed on Farkas’s appearance on a March 2, 2017, MSNBC interview in which she urged intelligence community bureaucrats to spread within the Washington bureaucracy and even leak to the media “any incriminating information they had about Trump or his aides.”
When pressed on the matter she said, “I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama administration] people who left…[that] it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy.”
While the former Obama administration official was caught in a number of lies, she told the truth about one matter of utmost importance when she told MSNBC, “we would no longer have access to that intelligence.”
Farkas, who is now running for Congress as a Democrat in New York’s 17th district admitted during the hearing before Congress that she knew of no evidence of Russian collusion.
