Former CIA Director Brennan subpoenaed to testify in federal Trump conspiracy case
Key Points:
- Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify on October 15 before a Florida grand jury as part of a Justice Department investigation into whether former officials conspired against Donald Trump.
- The subpoena relates to a broad criminal probe examining if government officials who investigated Trump over the past decade conspired to deprive him of his civil rights.
- Brennan is also a target in a separate Washington investigation into allegations that he lied to Congress in 2023, which he and his legal team deny.
- The subpoena was issued the same day prosecutor Joe diGenova, who led the inquiry known as the "grand conspiracy" investigation, abruptly resigned, with no replacement named yet.
- Brennan is seeking a court order to preserve all records related to the investigations, aiming to challenge any potential indictment on grounds of vindictive prosecution.
