The Justice Department appeared to acknowledge in an unusual statement this week the existence of investigations into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.

The Justice Department confirmed an inquiry into two frequent Trump targets. The news comes as the DOJ faces scrutiny over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

President Trump responded Wednesday to reports that former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are being investigated over allegations that they made false statements to Congress during the Russia probe.
