Brennan seeks court order to lock in Trump probe records

Former CIA Director John Brennan filed a federal suit in DC asking a court to require the Trump administration to preserve records tied to investigations about him, arguing recent changes to record-keeping threaten turning over essential evidence and could amount to an unconstitutional, vindictive prosecution. The filing frames preservation as prudent amid past actions critics label retaliatory, while a DOJ spokesperson pushed back on the characterization. Brennan's team says he will vigorously challenge any indictment if pursued.
