Former CIA Director John O. Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, on October 15. The Department of Justice is investigating whether law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against Donald Trump.
The subpoena is part of a flurry of requests issued in recent weeks as part of a broader probe into the President's political opponents. This investigation into Obama- and Biden-era officials is centered on an alleged grand conspiracy.
Attorney Ken Wainstein, representing Brennan, disclosed in a court filing that the former CIA director faces a real threat of prosecution under the Trump administration.
Brennan's legal team is now seeking to persuade a federal judge in D.C. to force the Justice Department to preserve records. The team intends to use these records to defend against possible accusations of vindictive prosecution.
