Ex-CIA Director: ‘I think the 25th Amendment was written with’ Trump ‘in mind’

The Hill reports that former CIA Director John Brennan stated he believes the 25th Amendment was drafted with President Trump specifically in mind, following Trump's threats toward Iran and subsequent calls from Democrats to consider invoking the amendment for removal. The article is sourced from a named author at a major national outlet and includes a direct quote from Brennan, though the provided metadata does not include the full article body or additional named sources beyond Brennan's statement. Independent corroboration from The Guardian, Reuters, Newsweek, and TIME confirms that Brennan made these comments and that Democrats and some conservatives have indeed discussed the 25th Amendment in response to Trump's Iran rhetoric, establishing the factual accuracy of the core claim. Readers should note that Brennan's characterization is an opinion statement—framed as a former intelligence official's interpretation rather than constitutional analysis—and watch for whether other constitutional scholars or Republican officials respond to the growing debate, as the TIME report indicates House Democrats were consulting on constitutional options for removal.
