The subpoenas were issued by a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida. Brennan played a key role in promoting the allegation that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016 election, which influenced intelligence assessments. A review by CIA Director john Ratcliffe accused Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey of including unverified opposition research in official reports.Brennan has also been referred for possible prosecution over allegedly lying to Congress. Meanwhile, Strzok and Page faced scrutiny for anti-Trump bias during the Mueller investigation and were dismissed from the FBI in 2018.The Trump administration is expected to issue more subpoenas as part of this ongoing review, amid criticism that these actions target political opponents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Former CIA Director John Brennan and other officials subpoenaed over Trump-Russia inquiry<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2379770\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former CIA Director <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/john-brennan\/\">John Brennan<\/a> and former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page are among the individuals reportedly served with federal <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/subpoenas\/\">subpoenas<\/a> on Friday related to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-justice\/\">Department of Justice&rsquo;s<\/a> investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia inquiry and alleged intelligence abuses under the Obama administration.<\/p>\n<p>Brennan, Strzok, and Page were the three former high-ranking officials who were subpoenaed, F<em>ox News<\/em><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/brennan-strzok-page-subpoenaed-part-federal-russiagate-probe-sources\">  reported<\/a>, based on law enforcement sources.
