Lead Prosecutor Removed from Investigation into Former CIA Director John Brennan
Maria Medetis Long, the lead federal prosecutor in Miami overseeing the investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, has been removed from the case. The investigation centers on allegations that Brennan lied to Congress about the CIA's role in crafting an intelligence assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election. Long's removal follows her reported resistance to pressure for quick charges against Brennan. The Justice Department has reassigned Chris DeLorenz to the case, indicating a shift in strategy as the department seeks to expedite the investigation. The probe was initiated by a referral from the House Judiciary Committee, led by Republican Jim Jordan.
