“The Justice Department has removed the career Miami federal prosecutor leading the investigation into John Brennan, after she resisted pressure to quickly bring charges against the former CIA director and prominent critic of President Donald Trump, according to people briefed on the matter.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
The investigation into Brennan is focused on one of the president\u2019s longest standing political grievances \u2014 the 2017 intelligence assessment that found Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help him.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s demands have taken on more urgency for the Justice Department after Trump fired former Attorney General Pam Bondi, in part because of dissatisfaction at the slow pace of cases he wants brought. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has redoubled efforts to satisfy the president\u2019s demands as he seeks to keep the job after Bondi\u2019s ouster.”<\/p>\n
