Bondi brands Obama-era CIA Chief Brennan 'not above the law' as DOJ seizes his transcripts

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that the Department of Justice has obtained declassified House transcripts related to Obama-era CIA Chief John Brennan, signaling potential movement in a closely watched matter involving him.

Speaking on 'Fox & Friends' on Friday, March 27, Bondi stopped short of confirming any investigation but emphasized that key documents are now in the DOJ’s possession.

Pam Bondi signals probe against John Brennan

Responding to questions about whether Brennan is under investigation, Bondi remained cautious but confirmed a critical development.

“I can’t talk about whether we do or do not have a pending case nor a pending grand jury,” she said.

“What I can say publicly is that we have received transcripts from the House. Those had to be declassified,” she added.

She added that more documents are still expected, noting, “We are awaiting transcripts from the United States Senate.”

While declining to go further, Bondi asserted, “The last thing I’ll say on that is no one in this country is above the law.”

Earlier, the House Intelligence Committee voted to transfer several classified hearing transcripts to the Justice Department following a formal request, signaling a deepening federal probe.

Pam Bondi outlines push on denaturalization

In the same interview, Bondi also touched on a separate but related enforcement priority: denaturalization.

While not directly connected to Brennan, she highlighted the administration’s focus on stripping citizenship from individuals who obtained it fraudulently or committed serious crimes.

“We’re going to have a safe country. We’re going to have an honest country, and we’re moving to denaturalize them as fast as we can and get them out of our country,” she said.

Acknowledging the legal complexity of such cases, Bondi noted that the process is not simple. “We would love to get some tougher laws from Congress on this,” she explained, adding that discussions are ongoing with lawmakers to streamline the process.

She outlined the types of cases being prioritized, including individuals involved in serious offenses.

“We’re focused on serious offenders. We’re focused on arms dealers. We’re focused on multi-million dollar health care fraud, people that should not be in this country,” Bondi said.

Bondi also stressed that citizenship is not guaranteed under all circumstances. “Being a citizen in our country is a privilege. It’s not a right,” she added, while noting that efforts are underway to accelerate enforcement despite legal hurdles.
