Brennan, Comey Under Federal Investigation

News summary

Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are under federal criminal investigation for alleged misconduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia probe, following a referral from current CIA Director John Ratcliffe. The investigations focus on whether Brennan and Comey made false statements to Congress and engaged in a possible conspiracy during the preparation of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference. Ratcliffe's recently declassified review criticized the 2017 ICA process as rushed, politically influenced, and marred by procedural anomalies, including the controversial inclusion of the Steele Dossier. While the Justice Department confirmed the investigations are active, specific details about the scope and potential charges remain unclear, and neither Brennan nor Comey have been charged with any crimes. The probes have drawn criticism as politically motivated, given both men have long been targets of former President Trump and his supporters. The outcome of these investigations remains uncertain, as criminal probes do not always result in charges.
