Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify next month before a Florida grand jury as part of a Justice Department investigation into whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against President Donald Trump.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ken Wainstein, an attorney for Brennan, disclosed in a court filing Monday that prosecutors last Thursday presented him with a subpoena for Brennan to appear Oct. 15 before a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida.<\/a><\/p>\n

He said he was told that the subpoena relates to a “far-reaching” criminal probe examining whether government officials who have investigated Trump over the past decade conspired to deprive Trump of his civil rights.<\/p>\n

According to Wainstein, a prosecutor also informed him that Brennan remains a target in a separate Washington-based investigation examining whether he lied to Congress in 2023, an allegation Brennan and his legal team have consistently denied.<\/p>\n

The development comes amid leadership upheaval within the probe. The subpoena was delivered on the same day Joe diGenova<\/a>, the prosecutor leading the inquiry informally known as the “grand conspiracy” investigation, abruptly resigned.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department has not publicly named a replacement for diGenova. Wainstein said he spoke with Kurt Olsen, a member of the investigative team and a lawyer who urged the Justice Department in 2020 to back Trump’s claims that the election had been stolen.<\/p>\n

Disclosure of the subpoena came hours ahead of a scheduled court hearing in Washington concerning a lawsuit brought by Brennan.<\/p>\n

The former CIA chief is seeking a court order to preserve all records related to the investigations targeting him, arguing the documents are essential to challenge any potential indictment on grounds of vindictive prosecution.<\/p>\n
