John Brennan subpoenaed for Florida grand jury testimony

Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, on October 15. The subpoena is part of a Department of Justice investigation into whether former intelligence and law enforcement officials conspired to deprive Donald Trump of his civil rights during various investigations over the last decade.

The probe is described by Brennan’s attorney, Ken Wainstein, as a “far-reaching” inquiry. It reportedly examines the government’s response to Russian interference in the 2016 election and more recent actions involving the recovery of classified documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Brennan is also reportedly a target in a separate Washington-based investigation concerning whether he made false statements to Congress in 2023 regarding the intelligence community’s assessments of Russian interference. Brennan and his legal team have denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
