Justice Department removes lead prosecutor Maria Medetis Long from John Brennan investigation
Maria Medetis Long, the lead prosecutor in the Justice Department's investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, has been removed from the case. The investigation centers on whether Brennan made false statements to Congress about the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference. The Justice Department states this is routine practice for allocating resources, while sources suggest Long expressed concerns about the legal strength of a potential prosecution.
