Day 599

DOJ 'Grand Conspiracy' Probe of Trump's Investigators Subpoenas John Brennan to Fort Pierce Grand Jury as Lead Prosecutor Quits (September 2026)

In September 2026 the Justice Department pressed ahead with a 'grand conspiracy' investigation into whether officials who investigated Donald Trump over the past decade, including over Russian interference in 2016 and his retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, conspired to deprive him of his civil rights. On September 10, prosecutors presented former CIA Director John Brennan with a subpoena to appear on October 15 before a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, the courthouse of Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon. The lead prosecutor, Joe diGenova, resigned the same day amid reported White House and DOJ frustration over the pace of the probe. Brennan's lawyer called it an attempt to 'frame somebody for a crime that is complete fiction.' Former FBI personnel who worked on the Mar-a-Lago investigation have also been subpoenaed. No one has been charged.
