Sources: FBI Questions CIA Officers Over Russia Assessment in Brennan Probe

The FBI has begun interviewing current and former CIA employees as part of a Justice Department investigation into ex-CIA director John Brennan. The probe focuses on his role in an intelligence finding that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election to help Donald Trump, according to five sources.

Employees were questioned last week by agents from the Miami field office at CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia. Interviews are expected to continue in the coming weeks, three sources said.
