EXCERPT:
A federal judge on Thursday threw out former CIA Director John Brennan’s lawsuit, which sought to compel the Trump administration to preserve records for his defense against potential criminal charges, ruling that he lacked standing.
The Department of Justice is investigating claims that Brennan and other national security officials conspired to undermine President Donald Trump.
The suit, filed in July 2026, sought to compel the Justice Department to retain investigative records so Brennan could prove any indictment against him was the result of vindictive or selective prosecution by the Trump administration.
Judge Jia Cobb, a Clinton-appointed judge, described Brennan’s allegations of political targeting as “deeply concerning,” but determined the claimed injury was “speculative” and not yet imminent, as no indictment has been filed.
