FBI launches probes into former FBI, CIA directors, Fox News reports

Source: Reuters

The FBI has launched criminal probes into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, Fox News Digital reported on Tuesday, citing sources.

The probes are over alleged wrongdoing related to past government investigations about claims of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections in which President Donald Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the news report said.

The CIA and the Justice Department had no immediate comment. The FBI declined to comment. Reuters has not independently verified the probes.

The scope of the criminal investigations into Brennan and Comey was unclear, the report added. Trump-nominated CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan, who served in that role under former Democratic President Barack Obama, for potential prosecution, according to the report.

Too bad TACO doesn't use some of that time and energy to solve real problems instead of pursuing his agenda of hatred towards all his enemies -- real or imagined.
