FBI launches investigations into former Directors John Brennan (CIA) and James Comey (FBI): Report

The FBI has reportedly opened two investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, Justice Department sources told Fox News on Tuesday. 

The investigation into Brennan comes after a new CIA report indicated the former director possibly misled Congress by testifying to the House Judiciary Committee in 2023 that he did not play any role in pushing to include the debunked Steele Dossier in a December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).

The new CIA report claimed that Brennan did in fact push to include the dossier in the assessment, along with anti-President Donald Trump forces in the FBI. 

The sources told Fox News that CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for an investigation, which was received, and an investigation was opened, but did not include further details.

It is not clear what Comey is being investigated for, but two sources told Fox News that the FBI views his actions with Brennan as a "conspiracy." Comey also allegedly pushed for the Steele Dossier to be included in the 2016 ICA.

Brennan and Comey have not commented on the reported investigation so far.

Just the News reached out to the CIA, FBI and DOJ for comment, but has not heard back at press time.
