Cooperating Witnesses In Brennan Probe Reportedly Subpoenaed Before Grand Jury

Senior intelligence and law enforcement officials working with the Department of Justice’s probe into former CIA Director John Brennan were issued subpoenas to testify before a grand jury.

The subpoenas of the FBI and other intelligence officials were issued after the DOJ had directed an attorney aligned with President Donald Trump to take over the investigation, according to CBS News. The probe into Brennan centers around false statements he provided to Congress regarding his involvement in investigations between the Russian government and Trump’s 2016 campaign.
