Justice Department officials in Miami and Washington, D.C. are moving forward with grand jury subpoenas as part of an expanding investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, according to Fox News sources.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is supervising the probe, according to Fox News.
Fox News previously revealed that both Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey were under federal investigation as of July 2025. Comey is already facing trial in January, while Brennan has not yet been indicted — though prosecutors are preparing to present evidence to a grand jury in South Florida.
The case gained renewed momentum last month when House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) formally referred Brennan to the Department of Justice, accusing him of lying under oath to Congress.
Jordan charged that Brennan “willfully and intentionally” misled lawmakers during his 2023 testimony, when he denied that the CIA relied on the Steele dossier in compiling the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) — the report that alleged Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump. Brennan also claimed the CIA had opposed using the dossier’s contents — a claim Jordan and other Republicans say is demonstrably false.
The Steele dossier, a controversial collection of memos compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, accused then-candidate Donald Trump of collusion with Russia. The dossier was later debunked, and evidence showed it was funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Hooray about time
