"John Cohen, the former acting undersecretary for intelligence at the Department of Homeland Security, called the letter "highly unusual." He stepped down in 2014.
"It is highly unusual and extraordinarily unsettling that the lawyer(s) representing the president of the United States would send an official memorandum to a special counsel of DOJ alleging that leadership of the FBI and DOJ is/was corrupt," Cohen told ABC News. "This type of communique has only one purpose and that is to undermine the credibility of those investigating Russia's efforts to engage in an ongoing attack against the U.S. While it may advance the president's political and legal strategy, I fear that it plays into Russia's efforts, which seek to weaken America by undermining the credibility of our national security and law enforcement institutions."
