Former CIA Director John Brennan financially profited from the post-9/11 war on terror through his prior ownership of stock in The Analysis Corporation (TAC), a private intelligence contractor, according to allegations by author Ian Trottier in his book High Stakes Treason.
Key Details of the Allegations
- The Company: John Brennan served as an executive or president at The Analysis Corporation before joining the Obama administration as a counterterrorism advisor.
- The Stock Claim: Trottier asserts that Brennan failed to divest his stock in TAC as outlined in government ethics agreements.
- Value Increase: The book claims the stock grew from an estimated $50,000 to nearly $5 million when TAC was sold to a UK firm as U.S. government spending on counterterrorism expanded.
- Context: The claims are presented in Trottier's independent book and media appearances, overlapping with broader public legal and congressional scrutiny facing Brennan regarding his intelligence tenure and testimony.
