WASHINGTON — The Justice Department issued subpoenas this week for several witnesses to appear before a federal grand jury in Washington as part of an investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, and then, according to later reporting, withdrew some subpoenas and requested voluntary interviews instead. The subpoenas were reported Monday, and the withdrawal was reported Tuesday. This week a Florida-based career prosecutor who had helped lead the inquiry left the case after expressing doubts about the legal viability of prosecution, and a former Justice Department lawyer was sworn in as a special counselor expected to assist the attorney general. The investigation, described as months-old and one of several probes into perceived Trump adversaries, remains active as investigators pivot their approach.
