Justice Department Grand Jury Subpoenas Brennan, Strzok and Page in South Florida Probe

Prosecutors are seeking 2016–2017 records on the intelligence assessment after a referral from DNI Tulsi Gabbard, even though earlier reviews found no criminal wrongdoing by senior officials.

Overview

  • A grand jury in the Southern District of Florida, supervised by U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones, issued subpoenas Friday to former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, multiple outlets reported.
  • The subpoenas seek emails, texts, documents and other records tied to the drafting of the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, with requests covering roughly July 2016 through February 2017.
  • Law enforcement sources said as many as about 30 subpoenas are being prepared or issued, and the full list of recipients has not been disclosed due to grand jury secrecy.
  • Brennan has not been charged, and it is unclear whether evidence presented will lead to indictments given prior investigations and the passage of time.
  • The inquiry follows Gabbard’s summer criminal referral and declassifications and is part of a South Florida-based DOJ effort that revisits work previously scrutinized by the Mueller, DOJ inspector general and Durham reviews.
