DOJ Reassigns Lead Prosecutor in Brennan Probe Amid Pressure for Quick Charges

The Justice Department has removed the lead Miami prosecutor from the probe into John Brennan, citing routine staff changes, after she resisted pressure to rush charges against the former CIA director. The Brennan investigation—centered on Brennan’s 2017 intelligence assessment about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election—continues with a rotated team and ongoing subpoenas and interviews, though officials say indictment timing remains uncertain and top officials have pressed for speed.
