“Well, I don’t know anything other than what I read today,” said Trump. “But I’m going to tell you, I think they are very dishonest people. I think they are twisted like hell. And maybe they have to pay a price for that.”

“I think they are really bad people and dishonest people,” added the president. “So whatever happens, happens.”

Sources of the Ministry of Justice told Fox News Digital that CIA director John Ratcliffe Kash Patel for potential prosecution.

The sources said that Ratcliffe’s reference had been received and told Fox News Digital that a criminal investigation in Brennan had been opened and underway. MJ sources have refused to provide more details. It is not clear, at this stage, if the investigation extends beyond its alleged false declarations in the Congress.

As for Comey, Doj’s sources told Fox News Digital that an investigation into the former director was underway, but could not share details on what is specifically surveyed.

The complete extent of criminal surveys on Brennan and Comey is not clear, but two sources have described the FBI vision on duo’s interactions as a “conspiracy”, which could open a wide range of potential prosecutor options.

The FBI and the CIA refused to comment.

Neither Brennan nor Comey immediately responded to the request for comments from Fox News Digital.

The Brennan survey comes after RatCliffe last week declared an examination of the “learned lessons” of the creation of the assessment of the 2017 Intelligence Community (ICA). ICA 2017 presumed that Russia sought to influence the 2016 presidential election to help then Donald Trump. But the examination revealed that the process of creating the ICA was precipitated with “procedural anomalies” and that the managers have turned away from intelligence standards.

He also determined that “the decision of the agency heads to include the Steele file in ICA was smuggled to the fundamental principles of the professions and finally undermined the credibility of a key judgment”.

The file – An anti -Trump document filled with unaccompanied and totally inaccurate complaints which was commanded by Fusion GPS and paid by the campaign of the candidate for the Democratic presidential president Hillary Clinton and the DNC – was largely discredited. Last week’s review marks the first career CIA The civil servants recognized the politicization of the process by which ICA was written, in particular by the appointments of the Obama era.

Trump has long condemned Brennan and Comey for their involvement in the 2016 intelligence assessments concerning Russian interference in the US elections.

Trump argued that Brennan and Comey politicize information to undermine his presidency, considering the investigation of the “Russian hoax” and a “rigged witch hunt” which damaged American relations with Russia.

The investigation was taken over by the special council Robert Mueller, who finally concluded that there was no insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 and Russia.

During Trump’s first term, the Ministry of Justice hit another special lawyer, John Durham, to investigate the potential mismanagement of the FBI of the “Crossfire Hurricane” probe on the alleged Trump-Russia connections. The probe, which included examining the role of the Steele file, led to criminal charges against three officials of the FBI of lower level. Although Durham discovered serious missteps by the office, he determined that there was no illegal conduct by the management of the FBI.

In May 2025, Trump notably called an article on Comey’s social networks which presented organized shells to read “8647”, which many interpreted as a veiled call to assassinate the president. Trump said Comey “knew what he was doing” and called the violence incentive. Comey said he was not aware of the potential interpretation of the figures and deleted the position.
