Witnesses in criminal probe of ex-CIA Director Brennan subpoenaed, sources say

Summary

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether former CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress. Several former intelligence and FBI officials who are helping the investigation were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Washington, D.C.

Key Facts

  • Former senior intelligence and FBI officials are cooperating with a criminal probe into John Brennan.
  • The investigation is about whether Brennan lied to Congress.
  • The witnesses were subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury this week.
  • The subpoenas were issued after Joe DiGenova, an ally of President Donald Trump, was appointed to lead the probe.
  • DiGenova previously worked to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
  • The witnesses had been scheduled for voluntary interviews but were now required to testify in person.
  • Legal experts say this is an unusual step because such interviews are normally done outside the grand jury.
