Former CIA Director John Brennan is accusing the Justice Department of mishandling its investigation into him and seeks to avoid involvement by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who notably dismissed the classified documents case against President Donald Trump in 2024.
In a letter obtained by The Epoch Times, Brennan’s attorney accused the administration of attempting to manipulate grand jury proceedings and judge shop, or select a judge it thinks will be favorable to its case. Dated Dec. 22, the letter is addressed to U.S. Chief Judge Cecilia Altonaga of the Southern District of Florida and requests that she prevent Cannon’s involvement.
