President Donald Trump's Department of Justice submitted — and then quickly rescinded — a subpoena for one of the president's perceived political foes, according to a new report.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that U.S. prosecutors working to determine whether former CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress rescinded a recent subpoena to have Brennan testify before a grand jury. The rescission occurred when Trump removed his former attorney general, Pam Bondi, from her post after she failed to indict several of the president's perceived enemies, such as former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The Department of Justice rescinded a subpoena for former CIA Director John Brennan to testify before a grand jury regarding allegations he lied to Congress, according to The New York Times.

The rescission followed Trump's removal of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who failed to indict several of President Donald Trump's perceived political enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

A legal expert appeared astonished on Tuesday by a new report that President Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutor in Miami is struggling to indict one of the president's political foes.

CNN reported on Tuesday that U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones in the Southern District of Florida and officials in Trump's Department of Justice have been pushing to indict former CIA Director John Brennan over his involvement in the 2016 investigation into Russia's interference in the general election. However, that push has been thwarted by weak evidence against Brennan, CNN reported.

Another career prosecutor has been pulled off a case against one of President Donald Trump's political enemies after she resisted pressure to bring charges more quickly, according to sources briefed on the situation.

Maria Medetis Long notified lawyers representing people involved in the case that she was no longer investigating former CIA director John Brennan, who has long been a target of Trump's ire over a 2017 intelligence assessment that found Russia had interfered in the previous year's election to help him, reported CNN.

The decision by the Department of Justice to appoint a former Fox News legal analyst to head up an investigation into former federal officials who investigated Donald Trump will present a whole new set of problems for the Trump administration, according to reporting.

Last week it was announced that federal prosecutor Maria Medetis Long was ousted after objecting to pressure to indict former CIA Director John Brennan for what the president and his allies believe was false testimony about Russian involvement.
