2025-07-08 22:33:27
Exclusive: Director of the former CIA John Brennan The Ministry of Justice sources told Fox News Digital that former FBI director James Komei is undergoing criminal investigation due to possible violations regarding Trump -Russia’s investigation, including making wrong statements to Congress.
The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe, referred evidence of violations by Brennan to the Director of the FBI Cash Patel For a possible trial, the sources of the Ministry of Justice told the Ministry of Justice.
The sources said that the referral had been received and Fox News Digital told Brennan that a criminal investigation was opened in Brennan, which is underway. Sources of the Ministry of Justice refused to provide more details. It is not clear, at this stage, if the investigation extends beyond his alleged wrong statements to Congress.
As for Comey, DOJ Fox News Digital sources have told the investigation into the former director, but he was unable to share the details of the investigation specifically.
The full range of criminal investigations in Brennan and Kumi is unclear, but sources described the FBI’s view of the bilateral interactions as a “conspiracy”, which can open a wide range of potential prosecution options.
The FBI and the CIA declined to comment.
Brennan or Come immediately responded to the Fox News Digital request for comment.
Brennan’s investigation comes after Ratcliffe last week classified a review of “lessons learned” to create the 2017 intelligence community evaluation (ICA). ICA has claimed for the year 2017 that Russia has sought to influence the 2016 presidential elections to help the candidate at the time Donald Trump. However, the review found that the ICA creation process was transferred with “abnormal cases”, and that officials have been transferred from intelligence standards.

He also decided that “the agency’s heads of the agency to include the Steele file in ICA, was inconsistent with the basic principles of Tradecraft and ultimately undermined the credibility of the main judgment.”

Last week’s review is the first time profession Central Intelligence Agency Officials acknowledged the politicization of the operation written by ICA, especially by the political appoinals during the Obama era.
The records of this as part of this review also revealed that Brennan actually pressed to include the file in 2017 ICA.
Brennan witnessed in the Judicial Committee of the House of Representatives in May 2023, however, that he does not believe that the file should be included in this intelligence product.

Ratcliffe was not surprised by the results of the review, a familiar source of Fox News Digital, given the history of the long manager of criticizing Brennan’s Sets of Intelligence. The source said that Ratcliffe had to refer the aspects of Brennan’s participation to the FBI to review the potential crime.
The source was unable to share the sensitive details of the Criminal Criminal Referral to the FBI with Fox News Digital, but he said that Brennan “violated the confidence of the public and should take responsibility for it.”
The wrong data part of the probe stems from an e -mail that was recently raised to Brennan by the Deputy Director of the former CIA in December 2016. This message said that including the ICA file in any capacity of “the credibility of the entire paper.”

“Despite these objections, Brennan showed the preference for the narrative of analytical safety,” the new CIA review states. “When he faced specific defects in the file by the mission center leaders – one with wide operational experience and the other with a strong analytical background – it seemed more affected by the general file compatibility with the current theories more than the legal concerns related to trade.”
The review added: “Brennan has made the official nature of his position in writing, saying that” my bottom line is that I believe that the information calls for its inclusion in the report. “
But Brennan witnessed the opposite in front of Congress in May 2023.
“The CIA has greatly opposed any reference or listing of a steel file in the intelligence community assessing.”. “Thus they sent a copy of the file to say that this will be separate from the rest of this evaluation.”
Flashback: I noticed the newly -made Intel Doss Dossary’s “limited confirmation” calls.
CIA officials at the time of its establishment against the FBI, which sought to include the file, on the pretext that the file should not be included in the evaluation, and it was simply “online rumors”.
Ultimately, steel reports were not included in the final ICA body intended for the president at the time Barack ObamaInstead, it was detailed in this footnote, “to a large extent that the leadership of the High Federal Bureau of Investigation,” according to a review by the Inspector General of the Ministry of Justice, and then the Senate Intelligence Committee.
But in June 2020, while working as the director of the National Intelligence, Ratcliffe carried out a footnote to ICA for the year 2017, who revealed that the reporter of the Trump Christopher Steel file was “only limited to perception” regarding whether the then -elected president “worked with Russian officials with his accumulation in Holri Clinton and other claims.
The footnote, also known as “Annex A” from ICA 2017, which Fox News Digital obtained exclusively in June 2020, on less than two pages and detailed reports of Steel, a former British spy who composed the anti-defense-document that helped obtain a superpower in the field of westernization (Fisa).
The Steel report was assigned, at the time, by the opposition research company GPS mergers It is funded by Clinton and the National Democratic Committee (DNC) through the law firm Perkins Koy.
The footnote clarified the internal interests that officials had on this document.
“The Steele Bureau of Investigation (STEELE) using both the specific and unlimited branches, very sensitive political information volunteered from summer to the fall of 2016 on the efforts of the Russian influence targeting the American presidential elections,” as stated in the appendix. “We just installed it in the reports provided by the source in this case and did not use it to reach the analytical conclusions of the CIA/FBI/NSA evaluation.”
“The source collected this information on behalf of private customers and has not been compensated by the FBI,” continued.
But the annex notes that Steel reports “have not been developed by layer subseource.”
“The FBI source has stimulated that although although it resembles the previously submitted reports in terms of content, the source was not able to form the sources and accuracy of additional information,” says the annex. “Hence this information was not included in this product.”
The Inspector General of the Ministry of Justice Michael Horwitz also reviewed the inclusion of Steel reports in ICA during his review of the alleged misconduct related to the Foreign Intelligence Monitoring Law, or Fisa.
His report, which was released in late 2019, found that there is “great inaccuracy and negligence” in Fisa orders for the previous Trump campaign page. These notes were highly dependent on steel reports, though this Federal Bureau of Investigation The lack of specific information confirming allegations against the page included in the steel reports.
Meanwhile, in October 2020, Fox News Digital said in October 2020 that Brennan informed former President Obama and administration officials on the intelligence officials that the former state candidate in Clinton was raising a plan to link Trump to Russia.
In his capacity as the Director of National Intelligence, Ratcliffe fell in handwritten notes on the memory of this meeting, which was obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital in October 2020.
On July 28, 2016, Brennan Obama briefed a plan from a foreign policy consultant in the Clinton campaign “to excite Donald Trump by provoking a scandal claiming to be interfering by the Russian security service.”
Kumi, then President Joe Biden, former Prosecutor Loreta Lynch and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, was briefing Brennan Obama.

After this briefing, the CIA properly redirect this information through an operating control of (CIOL) to Comey and an assistant assistant in the anti -espionage, Peter Starsuk, with the topic line: “Crossfire”.
Fox News Digital was obtained exclusively on CIOL in October 2020, which stated: “The following information is provided for exclusive use of your office for the purposes of the background or purposes as necessary.”
“Every oral request to the Federal Investigation Office provides the CIA to the examples below for the information that has benefited from the Crossfire Hurricane Cell until now,” the memo has followed. “The exchange of (revised) is discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on a plan related to US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian infiltrators who hinder the American elections as a way to distract the public’s attention from using a special email.”
On July 31, 2016, the FBI opened an investigation to combat equipment on whether the candidate Trump and members of his campaign are colluding or coordinating with Russia to influence the 2016 campaign.
Former Special Adviser Robert Muller was appointed to seize the original FBI “Crossfire Hurricane”. Nearly two years later, Muller’s investigation, which ended in March 2019, has not resulted in any evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential elections.
Soon after, John Durham was appointed as a special consultant to investigate the assets of “Crossfire Hurricane”.
Durham found that the FBI “failed to act” on a “clear warning mark” that the office was a “target” of efforts led by Clinton “to manipulate or influence law enforcement for political purposes” before the 2016 presidential elections.
“The facts mentioned above reflects an amazing failure and cannot be explained in sufficient consideration and the intelligence of Clinton’s intelligence in making decisions to investigate the FBI to investigate a major hurricane,” says Durham’s report.
“In fact, if the FBI investigate Crossfire as an evaluation, and in turn, the data is collected and analyzed in coordination with the information from the intelligence of the Clinton Plan, it is possible that the information received, at least, will be examined with a more important eye,” the report continued.
Durham said, in his report, that the FBI “failed to act on what would have been – when it was combined with other indisputable facts – a clear warning sign that the FBI may then be a target to manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential elections.”
Meanwhile, the White House wants to assume the Obama intelligence officials.
“President Trump was right – again,” the press secretary of the White House Caroline Levitt He said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Those who participated in this political scandal should bear the responsibility for the fraud they committed against President Trump and the lies they told of the American people.”
