Trump DOJ submits and rescinds subpoena targeting one of his political foes
The Department of Justice rescinded a subpoena for former CIA Director John Brennan to testify before a grand jury regarding allegations he lied to Congress, according to The New York Times.
The rescission followed Trump's removal of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who failed to indict several of President Donald Trump's perceived political enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Trump appointed Joseph diGenova, who previously represented him during efforts to overturn the 2020 election, to oversee the investigation into whether Former President Joe Biden administration officials broke the law investigating Trump.
The report states, it remains unclear whether diGenova played a role in rescinding Brennan's subpoena.
The Justice Department previously removed career prosecutor Maria Medetis Long, who had objected to moving forward with the investigation.
The withdrawal of subpoenas issued over the weekend marks what the report describes as a "shaky start" for the investigation's new phase.
