Former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey are being investigated for potential criminal conduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.
The criminal referral involving Brennan was passed to the FBI by current CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.
The investigation into the Obama-era spy chief involves allegations that he made false statements to Congress and is currently underway.
It’s unclear if the FBI’s probe into Brennan, one of 51 intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop could be Russian disinformation, encompasses more than his alleged false testimony to lawmakers.
Meanwhile, the specific nature of the potential criminal matter involving Comey is unclear but an investigation has been opened.
DOJ sources, however, described the FBI’s view of the role Comey and Brennan played during the investigation of claims that President Trump’s 2016 campaign was colluding with Russia as a “conspiracy,” according to the outlet.
The FBI, CIA and DOJ did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
The investigation into Brennan comes a week after the CIA released a “lessons-learned review” of the Obama administration’s spy agencies’ assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election to help Trump.
