Ex-CIA Director Calls for Trump's Removal via 25th Amendment
- Former CIA Director John Brennan urges the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump, citing his dangerous comments about Iran.
- Brennan describes Trump as 'unhinged' and a liability with access to nuclear weapons, following Trump's threats against Iranian civilization.
- Over 70 Democrats in Congress have joined the call for the 25th Amendment, but the likelihood of removal is low due to Trump's loyal cabinet and vice president.
