A new investigation has been launched against Brennan and Comey in the USA
A new political investigation has begun in the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
An official criminal case has been opened against former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan and former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey. This case is related to Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election and the violations that arose during the investigation process.
According to reports, CIA director John Ratcliffe presented documents regarding Brennan's potential violations to FBI director Kesh Patel. In particular, there are suspicions that Brennan lied before Congress.
No specific details regarding James Comey have been disclosed yet, but sources are evaluating this case as a political conspiracy. The main debate surrounding Brennan's activities is that he provided intelligence information in 2017 regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's support for Republican candidate Donald Trump, thereby helping Hillary Clinton's defeat.
John Ratcliffe firmly rejected these conclusions in his report and emphasized the baselessness of the accusations. Currently, no legal decision has been made regarding the accusations.
The New York Times has reported that it is currently unknown whether the investigation will reach the courts. U.S. President Donald Trump also commented on this issue.
On July 9, he told reporters that he had no information other than what was reported in the press regarding the investigation. He also stated that he considers Brennan and Comey to be unworthy, negative individuals and emphasized that they could be punished.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed her satisfaction with the start of the investigation in an interview with Fox News. This investigation is generating significant political resonance.
The issue of Russia's interference in the 2016 elections has been investigated many times before. The investigation led by special prosecutor Robert Mueller confirmed Russia's interference, but it was not determined that there was collusion with Donald Trump and his campaign.
In 2018, St. Petersburg businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin and 12 individuals associated with the "troll factory" were accused of interfering in the 2016 elections. Prigozhin later admitted to organizing the "troll factory," having initially denied it.
Time will show how events will develop. This investigation related to the American political elite is causing widespread discussions in society and may pave the way for new political debates.
The final decisions and outcomes of the case remain in the attention of the global public.
