Ex-CIA Director John Brennan Subpoenaed in DoJ Probe of Alleged Anti-Trump ‘Conspiracy’
Attorney says subpoena is one of several issued recently as part of a Justice Department investigation into whether former officials conspired against Donald Trump.
Former CIA director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in Florida next month, according to a court filing by one of his attorneys, as part of a Department of Justice investigation into alleged conspiracy against Donald Trump.
Ken Wainstein, an attorney representing Brennan, disclosed in the filing that prosecutors presented Brennan with the subpoena last Thursday. The subpoena directs Brennan to appear before a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, on 15 October, Wainstein said.
According to the filing, the subpoena is among a number issued in recent weeks as part of a broader Justice Department inquiry examining whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against Trump.
Details about the scope of the investigation, including what specific conduct is being examined, were not fully outlined in the court filing. The Guardian reported that the case has been described in connection with an alleged "grand conspiracy" against Trump, though the full nature of the allegations under investigation remains unclear from available filings.
Brennan served as CIA director under President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017. He has previously been a vocal critic of Trump and has faced scrutiny from Trump allies over his role during the 2016 presidential election period.
Neither the Department of Justice nor representatives for Brennan provided additional comment beyond the court filing at the time of reporting.
