Former CIA Director John Brennan must testify under oath about his role in a grand conspiracy to frame President Donald Trump as a Russian puppet, according to a new legal filing.
Brennan will be compelled by a subpoena to testify on Oct. 15, 2026, before a federal grand jury sitting in Fort Pierce in Southern Florida, the legal filing shows.
The filing reveals the Justice Department (DOJ) is pursuing two probes, including a far-reaching conspiracy investigation to include “issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond,” an apparent reference to the 2022 FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago over classified records, and another narrower one related to Brennan’s sworn statements before Congress.
Brennan’s attorney Ken Wainstein revealed the subpoena in a filing in Brennan’s case against the Department of Justice. Brennan has accused Trump’s Justice Department of violating his constitutional rights in pursuit of “phantom criminal conduct.”
Reached through his law firm, Wainstein declined to comment.
The subpoena was signed by former Counselor to the Attorney General Joseph E. diGenova on Sept. 9, 2026. diGenova abruptly resigned as top prosecutor on the Russiagate conspiracy case the next day, on Sept. 10. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 9/14/2026) (Archive)
