EXCERPT:
Former CIA Director John Brennan has been ordered to testify before a federal grand jury in Florida as the Justice Department expands an investigation into the government’s handling of investigations involving President Donald Trump.
A subpoena requires Brennan to appear Oct. 15 before a grand jury in Fort Pierce, according to a court filing disclosed by his attorney. The Justice Department is examining allegations that intelligence and law enforcement officials improperly targeted Trump during investigations involving Russian interference in the 2016 election and other matters.
Brennan has denied wrongdoing and accused the Justice Department of pursuing him for political reasons. His attorneys are seeking preservation of government records connected to the investigation.
The subpoena was signed Sept. 9 by former Justice Department prosecutor Joe diGenova, who resigned from the investigation the following day.
DiGenova subsequently said investigators have evidence supporting potential prosecutions but cautioned against moving cases too quickly.
“There’s plenty of evidence in all of these cases to prove the theories of prosecution,” diGenova said, according to The Associated Press. “It just takes time to get there, and some people want to get there a little faster than others, and you can’t do that.”
