Former CIA Director John Brennan sues DOJ and Trump officials to preserve investigation records.
Former CIA Director John Brennan filed a federal lawsuit on July 1, 2026, seeking a court order to compel the Trump administration to preserve records related to two ongoing Justice Department criminal investigations targeting him. The investigations concern allegations Brennan lied to Congress in 2023 about Russian interference in the 2016 election and an alleged "grand conspiracy" involving Obama- and Biden-era officials. Brennan's legal team argues the probes are politically motivated and that preserved records are essential for mounting a future vindictive prosecution defense.
