House Republicans and the Judiciary Committee have formally referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department for prosecution, alleging he lied to Congress regarding Russian election interference and other related matters. This referral is seen as part of a broader strategy by some GOP members to hold Brennan accountable, with calls from figures like Rep. Jim Jordan echoing throughout the media. Critics argue that this move is targeted politically, as Brennan has been a vocal opponent of certain Trump administration policies. The referral has sparked significant discussion regarding accountability and the implications of using the DOJ for political vendettas.
