BREAKING: The Justice Department has just issued three new subpoenas as part of an ongoing investigation targeting key former intelligence officials linked to Donald Trump’s presidency. The Southern District of Florida grand jury has summoned former CIA Director John Brennan, along with former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, as this dramatic chapter unfolds.
This latest development, reported on Friday, is part of a broader strategy by Trump and his allies to investigate the investigators involved in the 2016 election interference probe. Law enforcement sources have indicated that approximately 30 subpoenas will be issued in total, reflecting a significant escalation in the inquiry.
The subpoenas follow a controversial referral by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who accused former officials of a “treasonous conspiracy,” despite struggling to substantiate her claims. Brennan, who now serves as an MSNBC contributor, has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Strzok and Page became infamous for their extramarital affair and anti-Trump text messages that surfaced during congressional hearings in 2018. These messages led to Strzok’s dismissal from the FBI, while Page resigned.
The investigation is reportedly supervised by Jason Reding Quiñones, a Trump nominee, after Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the DOJ to initiate grand jury proceedings last August. Former White House spokesperson Harrison Fields emphasized the administration’s commitment to uncovering the truth behind claims of corruption among intelligence officials, asserting that they acted to undermine the Trump administration.
This situation intensifies the political stakes for Trump, who has already targeted notable figures including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both of whom have denied any misconduct.
As developments continue to unfold, the implications of these subpoenas could have significant repercussions for not only those targeted but also for the broader political landscape as the nation approaches the upcoming elections. The Justice Department has not responded to inquiries regarding this ongoing investigation.
Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
