Overview
- Agents from the FBI’s Miami office questioned about a dozen current and former CIA officers at headquarters last week, with more interviews planned.
- Investigators are examining whether John Brennan lied to Congress in 2023 about the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference.
- Questions also probe the Steele dossier’s influence, a politically funded file that was cited only in passing with a summary in the classified report.
- Prosecutors designated Brennan a target after mid-April shifts that withdrew Washington grand jury subpoenas and put Joe diGenova over the case.
- The assessment’s core finding that Russia sought to help Trump in 2016 was later affirmed by the Justice Department, a bipartisan Senate panel, and a CIA review.
