The US Justice Department has opened criminal investigations against former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey on suspicion of various offenses related to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. This was reported by Fox News. Sources in the Justice Department said that as part of the investigation, current CIA Director John Ratcliffe forwarded evidence of Brennan's alleged offenses, which are being investigated by the FBI. The investigation ended in 2019 and was dubbed 'Russia Gate' due to Russian involvement in that year's election.
