US EditionEx-CIA director John Brennan wants ‘favored’ Trump judge kept away from Justice Department inquiry
Brennan's lawyers argue the DOJ is manipulating venue to assign the case to Judge Cannon, known for rulings favorable to Trump, raising concerns about impartiality in a probe of 2016 election interference.
- On Monday, lawyers for former CIA Director John Brennan asked U.S. District Judge Cecilia Altonaga to block the U.S. Department of Justice from steering an investigation of him and other officials.
- Brennan and other former law enforcement and intelligence officials received subpoenas issued last month seeking documents tied to the Obama administration's January 2017 intelligence community assessment, and prosecutors told Brennan he is a target.
- The filing points to DOJ moves such as seeking an extra grand jury in Fort Pierce, noting the Miami division hosts the probe but lawyers fear transfer to Fort Pierce, where the DOJ sought another grand jury despite no caseload need.
- The letter asks Cecilia Altonaga to exercise her `supervisory authority` to ensure grand jury litigation is assigned by neutral courts, not prosecutors’ `self-interested maneuvering`, Brennan's attorneys say.
- Brennan's lawyers argue DOJ motives reflect `judge-shopping` aimed at placing the case with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, citing her rulings favoring President Donald Trump and last year's dismissal of the classified-documents case.
