CIA Director John Ratcliffe has formally referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the FBI for a criminal investigation. This referral follows a CIA review that criticized Brennan's actions related to the Trump-Russia investigation, commonly known as Russiagate. Brennan is reportedly facing perjury charges for allegedly lying to the Senate Intelligence Committee about the investigation. FBI Director Kash Patel is leading a broader "Grand Criminal Conspiracy" probe, which also targets former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director Brennan, former NSA Director Michael Hayden, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. This investigation centers on alleged misconduct and potential weaponization of government agencies during the past decade, particularly concerning anti-Trump activities. Patel reportedly discovered Russiagate documents that had been hidden in a lockbox and vault within the FBI's Hoover Building, which may provide critical evidence for the inquiry. The Department of Justice is considering appointing a special prosecutor to oversee this grand conspiracy case as the probe continues to develop.
