Brennan has frequently sparred with Trump. In August, the president had Brennan's security clearance revoked in a move that was viewed widely as retaliatory.

Earlier Tuesday, Trump took to Twitter to lash out at Mueller, calling him "a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue" and claiming that he is doing "tremendous damage" to the criminal justice system in the U.S. Trump also tweeted the "phony witch hunt continues," referencing Mueller's probe.

Trump has long attacked Mueller and his investigation, which the president has frequently sought to cast as a "witch hunt."

Trump's criticism of Mueller came one day after the special counsel, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, said in a new filing that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort Paul John ManafortOur Constitution is under attack by Attorney General William Barr Bannon trial date set in alleged border wall scam Conspicuous by their absence from the Republican Convention MORE violated his plea agreement by lying to federal prosecutors.
