Former CIA director wants DOJ records leading up to his probable ‘grand conspiracy’ charges

What every side reports

Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify before a Florida grand jury as part of a Department of Justice investigation examining whether former officials conspired against Trump.

Where the framing diverges

Both outlets report the same core fact with similar framing and little divergence. The Guardian uses Trump's own characterization of a 'grand conspiracy' investigation and attributes claims to a lawyer, while Fox News frames the probe specifically in terms of whether officials conspired to 'deprive Trump of his civil rights,' a more legally specific framing not present in the Guardian's excerpt.
