DOJ subpoenas former CIA Director John Brennan in 'grand conspiracy' probe targeting Trump critics

Former CIA Director John Brennan was subpoenaed to testify before a Florida grand jury as part of a Justice Department investigation into whether Obama- and Biden-era officials conspired to deprive President Trump of his civil rights. The subpoena, disclosed by Brennan's lawyer in a court filing, was issued on the same day that the lead prosecutor resigned, citing concerns that the probe was being mismanaged and directed for political purposes, according to court records. Brennan is also a target in a separate investigation into alleged false statements to Congress. The investigation has been widely characterized by legal analysts and former DOJ officials as politically motivated retaliation against Trump's perceived adversaries.
