Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify before a Florida grand jury as part of a Justice Department investigation into whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against former President Donald Trump. Brennan is also the target of a separate inquiry into whether he made false statements before Congress. His lawyer, Ken Wainstein, revealed the subpoena and argued for a court order to preserve all investigation records, claiming they are crucial for Brennan’s defense. Wainstein criticized the Justice Department’s actions as unprecedented and accused them of attempting to frame Brennan. The subpoena is linked to a broad investigation into whether officials conspired to deprive Trump of his civil rights. Brennan is required to appear before the grand jury on October 15 in Fort Pierce, Florida.
