Feds Move to Subpoena Former CIA Director John Brennan in Russian Interference Probe
The US Justice Department has moved to subpoena former CIA Director John Brennan and others who investigated Russian interference in Trump's 2016 campaign. Prosecutors are seeking documents as part of an ongoing counterintelligence investigation.
Prosecutors in Florida have moved to issue subpoenas to former CIA Director John Brennan and other former officials, including FBI agents and a National Security Council official, as part of an investigation into the federal government's counterintelligence efforts related to Russian interference in President Trump's 2016 campaign. The Justice Department is looking at the actions taken by these individuals during the Obama administration in response to concerns about Russian election interference. The investigation centers on allegations that some former officials violated the law by accessing classified information to investigate their own theories about Russian interference. The subpoenas will require these former officials to turn over documents and other materials related to the probe.
