FACT-CHECK: John Brennan Has Fled To Australia?

Rumors are swirling on X that John Brennan has left the USA and fled to Australia.

Big, if true….

But is it true?

As you know, we like to give you the TRUTH around here, not just what your itching ears want to hear, so I’m going to tell you everything I know right now.

First, let’s start with the rumors, which as best I can tell started with this post from Emerald Robinson:

BREAKING: Project Sentinel sources indicate that former CIA Director John Brennan is no longer in the United States.

His last known location? Australia.

— Emerald Robinson ✝️ (@EmeraldRobinson) April 15, 2025

She usually does a great job, so seeing it from her gives it some credibility.

She’s been an anchor on Newsmax and on OANN and currently with LindellTV, so she’s not a random account on X.

There was also this:

BREAKING: Project Sentinel sources indicate that former CIA Director John Brennan is no longer in the United States.

His last known location? Australia.

WOW he is definitely running from something ? pic.twitter.com/LNqgNe5FmZ

And then George Papadopoulos also got into the game, posting this and saying James Clapper also just made a secretive visit to Australia:

Ex US spy boss James Robert Clapper Jr makes secretive visit to Australia https://t.co/LIXMXqD1Sk

Sounds like a lot of dots starting to connect right?

Except….

The Clapper post is wildly misleading.

The ABC link included is from 2016.

Nice try, but that’s a big swing and a miss.

So I rate that 100% Fake News.

As for Brennan?

I cannot find any major source outside of Robinson reporting on this.

I’m not saying she’s wrong, I’m just saying I can’t corroborate right now.

But there are red flags…..

She claims this is according to “Project Sentinel” and I have no idea what that is.

And by that I don’t mean I’m uneducated, what I mean is I’ve investigated and that does not appear to be any credible source or group.  It sounds like pure gibberish designed to cloak the post in credibility.

So right now folks I’m warning you to not get hooked on this story.  Right now it’s rated “Unconfirmed” at best and “100% Fake News” at worst.

The truth is always good enough, and that’s what we’ll continue to bring you here at WLT Report.

Cheers!
