REPORT: SEN. SCHUMER UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ALLEGED TIES TO 2016’S FAILED COUP IN TURKEY
A Turkish prosecutor is reportedly investigating 17 Americans, including Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer, for alleged ties to a failed coup in the country last year.
As The Independent reports, this investigation comes as Turkey embarks on a referendum expanding Turkish President Erdogan’s powers.
The Independent also states that, in addition to Sen. Schumer, the investigation includes former CIA Director John Brennan, and former CIA Deputy Director David Cohen.
Istanbul’s Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office is reportedly looking into those individuals’ meetings in Turkey between July 15 and July 17.
They’ll also be investigating alleged ties between those individuals and Fethullah Gulen, a Pennsylvania-based man who The New Yorker reports was the “mastermind” behind the failed coup.
