Kyle Brennan, the 40-year-old son of former CIA Director John Brennan, has been arrested on a federal charge of allegedly possessing child pornography, Fox News has learned.
According to a federal complaint, Brennan is charged with transporting child pornography.
The investigation began after reports submitted to Adobe’s CyberTipline flagged accounts allegedly linked to Brennan for uploading illegal files involving minors.
In April and June 2024, Adobe sent two reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) concerning an account allegedly used to upload suspected child sexual abuse material.
The FBI’s Washington field office is investigating the case.
On or about April 7, 2024, three files were uploaded to the Adobe account.

Federal prosecutors said a review of the files identified one that appeared to be a morphed image combining the face of a 12-year-old girl with the naked body of another minor.
Comcast records indicated that the IP address used to upload the files was registered to Kyle Brennan at an address in Warrenton, Virginia.
Authorities said Apple records later confirmed that the private relay account was registered to Brennan.
The case was referred to the FBI in October. A judge subsequently approved a warrant allowing investigators to examine the records and seize Brennan’s phone.
On Friday, an FBI analysis of an iPhone identified as “Kyle’s iphone (2)” found a photograph of Brennan’s Virginia driver’s license and approximately 88 images that prosecutors said depicted girls under 18 engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
