- Brennan and Comey now under criminal investigation tied to the Trump-Russia probe origins.
- FBI reviewing possible “conspiracy” after referral from CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
- Spotlight shifts to the investigators, as questions of accountability gain new traction.
Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are now under criminal investigation, according to a report from Fox News. The investigation centers around their roles in the controversial Trump-Russia probe.
Fox News reports, “CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution.”
While the full details of the investigation haven’t been made public, sources say the FBI is examining the actions of Brennan and Comey as potentially part of a larger “conspiracy.” If that’s accurate, it could open the door to a wide range of criminal charges.
Both Brennan and Comey played key roles in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation during the Obama administration, which later led to the Mueller probe. Many conservatives have long questioned whether the investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign was politically motivated or based on flawed intelligence.
This latest development may breathe new life into those concerns, but it’s also raising serious questions across the political spectrum about transparency and accountability within the intelligence community.
The Justice Department has not released an official statement, and it remains to be seen whether charges will follow. For now, the investigations are ongoing, and Americans on both sides of the aisle are watching closely.
One thing is clear—those who led the charge into the Trump-Russia probe are now facing serious scrutiny of their own.
