DOJ Expands Brennan Probe as House Panel Sends Transcripts to DOJ

The Justice Department has requested records from the House Intelligence Committee on former CIA Director John Brennan. The committee voted to forward several classified Brennan hearing transcripts to DOJ at the department’s request, signaling ongoing scrutiny tied to the Trump-era Russia inquiry. Brennan’s lawyers have said prosecutors indicated he is a target of a grand jury investigation related to a 2017 intelligence assessment, while Republican lawmakers argue the move serves accountability in investigations.
