The Justice Department is shaking up the team probing former CIA Director John Brennan as part of a broad investigation into an alleged years-long conspiracy against President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

The prosecutor leading the day-to-day operations in the Brennan investigation, which is being run out of the US attorney’s office in Miami, is no longer handling the case, according to the people, who asked not to be named speaking about a confidential inqury.
