Subpoenas are being prepared – and sent out – in the Department of Justice’s case to hold Barack Obama’s CIA chief, John Brennan, accountable.
He reportedly was one of the instigators of many of the lawfare cases against President Donald Trump.
Reports now confirm that the DOJ is preparing a set of grand jury subpoenas as part of an investigation, being run out of Florida, into Brennan, “and the probes by the CIA and FBI into Russian interference in the 2016 election.”
Those claims included that Trump’s campaign was coordinating with Russia, a claim that has proven to have been made up.
Jason Reding Quinones, the U.S. attorney in South Florida, is developing the evidence, along with senior staff at the DOJ in Washington.
The investigation was confirmed by the White House weeks ago after reports surfaced that Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the probe based on a criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
A lawyer advising the DOJ has confirmed that the grand jury will consider “whether top Obama and Biden officials engaged in a massive conspiracy to violate Donald Trump’s civil rights through the Russia investigations and the probes by special counsel Jack Smith,” MSNBC reported.
Smith brought two lawfare cases against Trump, both of which have since died.
Brennan, now working for MSNBC, claims he’s innocent.
He has separately been accused by the House Judiciary Committee of lying to Congress, an allegation he also disputes.
WND previously reported that the Steele dossier, that collection of wildly false claims about President Donald Trump that was funded by supporters for twice-failed Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and used by Democrats to undermine Trump’s presidency, was coming back with a bite.
It was the CIA, through an officer, that drafted an annex containing a summary of the dossier, which actually came from a hired former British agent. And it was Brennan, then CIA chief, who decided to include information from the dossier in an “Intelligence Community Assessment.” And it was Brennan who overruled senior CIA officers who opposed the inclusion of that material.
John Brennan lied to Congress.
Today, we referred him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

The claim is that Brennan “made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact” about the dossier when testifying under oath to the House Judiciary Committee.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the chairman of the committee, said, “We write to refer significant evidence that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the Committee on the Judiciary on May 11, 2023. While testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.
“Under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, a witness commits a crime if he ‘knowingly and willfully . . . makes any materially false . . . statement or representation’ with respect to ‘any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee . . . of the Congress[.]’ Congress cannot perform its oversight function if witnesses who appear before its committees do not provide truthful testimony. Making false statements before Congress is a crime that undermines the integrity of the Committee’s constitutional duty to conduct oversight,” the letter said.

JUST IN: Federal Prosecutors in SOUTH FLORIDA Preparing Grand Jury Subpoenas in Investigation Into John Brennan Related to Russiagate Scandal https://t.co/H21Z8oCvu1

Brennan’s accused of “denying that the CIA relied on the discredited Steele dossier in drafting the post-2016 election Intelligence Community Assessment; and … testifying when he told the Committee that the CIA opposed including the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).”
This scenario was detailed on Jordan’s letter:
On January 6, 2017, the CIA, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and National Security Agency published a declassified version of an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) titled Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections. The ICA stated, among other things, that Russia ‘developed a clear preference’ for President Trump and ‘aspired to help’ him win the election. This conclusion—now known to be false—was based in part on the Steele dossier, which ‘was referenced in the ICA main body text, and further detailed in a two-page ICA annex.’ The Steele dossier was a series of reports containing baseless accusations concerning President Trump’s ties to Russia compiled and delivered to the FBI in 2016 by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. Subsequent investigations confirmed that the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid Steele via the law firm Perkins Coie and opposition research firm Fusion GPS to provide derogatory information about Trump’s purported ties to Russia, which resulted in the discredited dossier. In July 2025, the Trump Administration declassified numerous documents showing that the ICA’s main findings were false and that the Obama Administration knowingly fabricated the findings for the purpose of undermining the Trump Administration.
Further, evidence now confirms “Brennan falsely testified to the Committee. During a transcribed interview on May 11, 2023, Brennan stated that ‘the CIA was not involved at all with the [Steele] dossier.’”
Brennan’s claims, the letter charged, “cannot be reconciled with the facts.”
