Former CIA Director John Brennan sues Justice Dept., Trump officials over criminal probes
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."
