The House Intelligence Committee voted Tuesday to give federal prosecutors classified records related to John Brennan, according to a committee spokesperson, signaling the Justice Department’s investigation into the former CIA director may be heading towards possible charges. Federal prosecutors have for months worked to build a case against Brennan over allegations that he lied to Congress about a years-ago intelligence assessment on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. One of the records the committee will turn over is a transcript of an interview with Brennan, the source said. The DOJ’s request for Intelligence Committee records was first reported by Punchbowl News. Brennan told House investigators in 2017 that Russia “brazenly interfered” in US elections, including actively contacting members of Trump’s campaign.
