ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey's state-run news agency says the Istanbul chief prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into 17 U.S.-based individuals, including Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara and ex-CIA director John Brennan, for their alleged links to cleric Fethullah Gulen.
Anadolu Agency says Saturday the probe was launched after a group of Turkish lawyers filed a criminal complaint.
It said the prosecutor's office would investigate their links to Gulen's movement, in a step that could lead to charges of attempting to overthrow the Turkish government and membership in a terror organization.
While this is big, Erdogan is closer to a terrorist than Gulen is. The Turkish coup was by the military who arent islamists. Erdogan is likely funding terrorists so, if they are found guilty turkey can't do anything about it since the U.S government doesn't negotiate With terrorists.
Oh please. This is simply Turkish politics. Erdogan wants Gulen's butt shipped back to Turkey for his purported role in the coup attempt, but the US won't comply. The prosecutor has no proof of anything, it's just politics.
