DiGenova Leads Brennan Probe, Investigation Gains Steam

0:00The Justice Department just tapped Joseph D. Genova, an 81-year-old conservative attorney and big Trump supporter to lead a criminal probe. It's a former CIA director, John Brennan. This is happening out of the Southern District of Florida, where D. Genova steps in as counselor to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He's jumping on board right after Maria Mededis Long, got pulled from the case. D. Genova is no stranger to high-stakes fights. He repped Trump's campaign challenging the 2020 election and served as U.S. Attorney in D.C. under President Reagan back in the day. Folks remember his fiery side, like when he had to apologize to ex-ciber security director Chris Krebs after calling for him to get drawn and courted, or shot on TV. That sparked death threats against Krebs, who even sued over it, highlighting how he did these political clashes get. The probe zeroes in on claims. Brennan lied to Congress about the CIA using the unverified steel dossier in a key intel report on Trump.

1:02House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan pushed a referral, accusing Brennan of faking opposition to including that dossier full of wild allegations. Meanwhile, the teens wrapping up with fresh interviews and players like Chris DeLorence, a former clerk to Judge Eileen Cannon, who just joined as a prosecutor down there. This investigation is gaining steam, and we'll keep watching how it unfolds. Local news, powered by AI. This is Dallas News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
