Overview
- U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones is supervising the investigation in consultation with senior Justice Department officials in Washington.
- The Justice Department declined to comment, while a White House spokesman in August confirmed a grand jury investigation after Fox News reported its origins.
- Investigators are examining the preparation of the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian interference, which John Durham previously reviewed without finding wrongdoing.
- Brennan has denied any misconduct, and he disputes a House Judiciary Committee allegation that he lied to Congress.
- Preparing subpoenas signals an active grand-jury phase rather than charges, and public criminal findings tied to the broader Russia inquiries remain limited to a 2020 guilty plea by an FBI lawyer.
