Justice Department leans on prosecutors in Brennan probe as other Trump-foe investigations fizzle

Justice Department prosecutors leading an investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan are facing increasing pressure from top Justice officials to bring criminal charges against him after the department has flailed in trying to punish President Donald Trump’s perceived enemies, people briefed on the matter told CNN in recent days.

Prosecutors in the Miami #USattorney’s office have been leading the #JohnBrennan probe, which relates to testimony the ex-intelligence chief gave to #Congress in 2023 & the #Russia investigation years earlier, issuing 2 rounds of subpoenas to several witnesses.

Yet the push for charges has run into career prosecutors raising concerns in southern Florida, with some viewing the potential case as relatively weak.
