Pete Hegseth Debates CBS's Margaret Brennan on US Stockpiles
Hegseth got into a tense exchange with CBS's Margaret Brennan over U.S. military stockpiles — which Hegseth has said could take years to rebuild.
The #DOJ last month removed the veteran prosecutor in Miami who had been leading the investigation into #Brennan. The department then installed #JoeDiGenova, a former federal prosecutor turned conservative legal commentator & critic of Brennan, to oversee the probe & a related effort to examine whether prior investigations into #Trump amounted to a conspiracy against the president. 🙄🥱

Acting AG #ToddBlanche helped oversee the #DOJ’s investigation into #Brennan when #PamBondi was AG. #Trump fired Bondi in April amid mounting White House frustration with the pace & outcome of her team’s investigations.

Sources familiar expect that any charges would eventually have to be filed in Washington, DC given that's where Brennan's congressional testimony took place.
Rep #GymJordan of Ohio, the #Republican chair of the #House #Judiciary Cmte, referred #Brennan to #DOJ in October, alleging he lied during a 2023 congressional testimony, in part by saying the #CIA was "not involved at all" with the #SteeleDossier. [Not a lie. The CIA wasn’t involved in its creation. It was given to them.]
#Brennan’s lawyer said in a letter to the chief federal judge in Miami that prosecutors had told his client that he is a target of the investigation. He stated prosecutors were "#JudgeShopping" by trying to steer the investigation to a Trump-appointed judge in Fort Pierce, Florida, who previously dismissed a #criminal case against #Trump [yup, it’s the ever-so-compromised #AileenCannon.

The dossier was referenced only briefly in the assessment & a summary of its allegations was attached to a classified version of the report. #Brennan has said the #CIA opposed including the #SteeleDossier in the report & the classified summary was only included as part of a compromise with the #FBI.

The current & former #CIA officers are being asked about #Brennan's role in producing the assessment & the extent to which its conclusions were shaped by a controversial dossier of unverified claims about Trump's ties to #Russia.

And yet, still, #Trump, who has falsely described the #Russia investigation as a “hoax”, has pushed prosecutors to dig into those he perceives to have been involved in spearheading the probe, including #Brennan.
A source familiar with the Brennan investigation said that #FBI agents had questioned about a dozen current & former #CIA officers who worked on the 2017 assessment.

Employees were questioned last week by agents out of the Miami field office at #CIA HQ in McLean, Virginia. Interviews are expected to continue throughout the coming weeks, 3 sources said.
The #USAttorney's Office for the Southern District of #Florida has for months pursued an investigation into #Brennan.
