Miami subpoenas widen probe into Russia assessment | JQJO

Facing a flurry of subpoenas from Miami, a nascent federal probe has widened into the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference and the role of former CIA director John Brennan, according to people familiar with the matter. Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in South Florida, issued more than two dozen demands for records, after the Justice Department shifted the case from a Pennsylvania prosecutor and broadened its scope. The subpoenas list no specific crimes, and questions linger over venue, even as the department recruits prosecutors and reorganizes a unit for the effort.
