O son of John Brennan, former director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), was accused this Friday of the crime of “child pornography possession”.
According to the news agency Reuters, citing judicial documents and a 40-year-old source of U.S. law enforcement authorities, Kyle Brennan, was charged after an FBI analysis of his cell phone identified 88 images of female minors involved in “explicit sexual acts.”.
The man, residing in Warrenton, Virginia, began to be investigated following a complaint lodged at the United States District Court for the East Virginia District.
The charge arises about two months after his father was summoned to testify before a grand jury in the state of Florida, in the framework of an investigation by the Department of Justice into a conspiracy against American President Donald Trump.
According to the complaint, the investigation of Brennan's son originated in a complaint lodged in 2024 with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an organization dedicated to the protection of children.
Virginia authorities searched your residence in July 2024 and last month the case was forwarded to the FBI.
It should be noted that John Brennan, who led the CIA during the administration of Democratic President Barack Obama, has been subject to scrutiny in an investigation that seeks to ascertain whether those responsible for security forces and intelligence services violated Trump's civil rights in investigations prior to the president.
The investigation into the alleged conspiracy has been virtually stagnant in recent weeks following the resignation of several top prosecutors who were overseeing it. So far, no charges have been filed.
