Ex-CIA Director John Brennan Issued Subpoena in Trump ‘Grand Conspiracy’ Investigation, Lawyer Says

Brennan’s lawyers say the subpoena is tied to a broad probe into whether Trump investigators conspired to violate his civil rights.

  • Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify on October 15 before a Florida grand jury as part of a Justice Department investigation into whether officials conspired against President Donald Trump.
  • The Justice Department is examining whether officials who investigated Trump over the last decade, including regarding Russia election interference and classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, conspired to deprive him of civil rights.
  • Attorney Ken Wainstein disclosed last Thursday that prosecutors presented the subpoena; prosecutor Joe resigned the same day from the "grand conspiracy" investigation amid reported White House and Justice Department displeasure.
  • Brennan remains a target in a separate Washington-based investigation into whether he lied to Congress in 2023, a claim he and his attorneys have consistently denied while seeking a court order preserving investigative records.
  • This subpoena is among a flurry issued in recent weeks, with investigator Kurt Olsen confirming the subpoena relates to the broader probe examining potential civil rights violations.
