Former CIA chief John Brennan summoned to testify in Florida Trump conspiracy probe
John Brennan has received a subpoena to appear before a Florida grand jury on Oct. 15 as part of a Justice Department inquiry into alleged conspiracies against Donald Trump.
Attorney Ken Wainstein disclosed that prosecutors handed Brennan a subpoena last Thursday, requiring his testimony in Fort Pierce, Florida. The appearance is tied to a broad criminal investigation examining whether officials who have investigated Trump over the past decade colluded to violate his civil rights. The case remains ongoing, with the grand jury slated to meet next month.
Why it matters
The testimony could reveal whether government officials coordinated to undermine a former president's rights.
