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.

#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.

While the #subpoenas did not cite a specific criminal statute [there isn’t one that applies] that #DOJ was “investigating”, the inquiry is purportedly said to focus on whether elected officials in #Minnesota had conspired to impede the thousands of federal agents who have been in the state since last month looking for undocumented immigrants [big wink].

When pressed by a Reuters reporter in the Oval Office on Sept 25 about potential targets of a domestic terrorism probe, #Trump mentioned #GeorgeSoros - a #Democratic donor whose #charitable network supports #CivilRights, #education, #democracy & other causes - & #ReidHoffman, co-founder of the online professional networking platform #LinkedIn & another Democratic #donor.

Last month, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, a #Trump appointee, sent a letter to the #DOJ alleging #NYAG #LeticiaJames “falsified records” to obtain favorable loans on a home she purchased in 2023 in Virginia & Brooklyn, the New York Post reported.

In a stmnt, James' lawyer Abbe Lowell called the allegations "baseless & long-discredited."

#NYAG #LeticiaJames has joined attorneys general from other states in challenging #Trump's second-term agenda. After Trump's first term in office, she brought a #civil #fraud lawsuit against him that resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties.

Trump has repeatedly called for the prosecution of James & New York State Justice Arthur #Engoron, the judge who oversaw that case.
