Former CIA Director John Brennan sued the Justice Department and top Trump administration officials Wednesday, seeking a court order to force the preservation of records in the ongoing federal investigations targeting him.
The lawsuit represents an unusual step for Brennan, a longtime political opponent of President Trump who has been the focus of two Justice Department criminal probes since the beginning of Mr. Trump's second administration.
One is centered on allegations that Brennan lied to Congress in 2023 about the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The second is a sprawling "grand conspiracy" probe examining whether Obama- and Biden-era officials were part of a long-running conspiracy to keep Mr. Trump out of political office.
"This Administration has adopted a policy of using criminal process and prosecution to punish the President's perceived adversaries," Brennan's legal team wrote in a 46-page complaint filed Wednesday in federal court in Washington. "It is against this backdrop that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John O. Brennan, is being vindictively singled out for investigation and prosecution."
Brennan's legal team argues that any "eventual indictment" against him will be challenged in court as "unconstitutionally vindictive and selective," and the loss of any relevant records would "impair, perhaps fatally, the ability of the court reviewing Director Brennan's challenges to do so on the full record of contemporaneous communications and materials that is needed to divine the true intentions behind the prosecutors' decisions and actions."
Brennan is asking a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to order Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department, as well as the White House, ODNI and CIA, to "preserve materials and communications potentially relevant to Director Brennan's legal and constitutional challenges to any future criminal charges."

How dare you investigate my crimes!............
So many layers of hypocrisy, so little time.
I’m self-censoring. I believe Brennan had my husband killed and I want a thorough trial ( just long enough to give him a chance to repent), then a short drop with a fast stop.
J I A.? Where is JIA From?
AFRican American....noticed AFRICAN IS FIRST !
That's the definition of chutzpah right there.
Having any records to preserve regarding fabricating the Russia collusion hoax is what Brennan and the Obama administration wanted to avoid.
As a Civil plaintiff, he is subject to being deposed, and he can’t plead the 5th.
Let discovery begin.
Agreed.
Wow....he can “dish it out” but he’s a simp when it comes to “taking it”.
If there were printed encyclopedias there would be a place for a picture of Brennan next to “scoundrel” and “traitor.”
The hypocrisy of his overseeing use of private information to victimize his enemies and now crying like a schoolchild over being brought to (hopefully) justice is staggering.
B-b-b-but everybody told me I was a cynic to blast the justice system as worthless and corrupt. I was supposed to have some respect for it. Now there’s another rat hole for Brennan to scurry down into.
How dare you!! Don’t you know who I am??
Brennan Attorney to Judge: The Trump DOJ is vindictive.
Judge: Why on earth would the Trump DOJ be vindictive?
Brennan Attorney: My innocent client and the rest of the Deep State coordinated with Obama/Biden DOJ for year to remove, imprison, or kill Donald Trump.
Judge: You’re right. Strictly a political weaponization by Trump DOJ against you.
Judge: Case dismissed with prejudice.
Years.
Not year.
Shouldn’t somebody be running Brennan off with a gun?
“This Administration has adopted a policy of using criminal process and prosecution to punish the President’s perceived adversaries,”
Really funny coming from Brennen
Brennan is saying to Trump, hypocritically...
Hey! You can’t do to me what I and Biden and democrats did to you. Politics and lawfare only works one way, the democrats’ way.
Suing DOJ for investigating him for the crime of committing crimes
