Former CIA Director John Brennan filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Wednesday to ensure that administration officials preserve all documents related to any investigations into him.

The Department of Justice confirmed in July 2025 that the Trump administration was investigating Brennan in relation to his handling of the inquiry into possible ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, with sources alleging his conduct was being investigated as a “conspiracy.” In the lawsuit filed Wednesday, Brennan’s lawyers said he is currently under investigation by the Justice Department for an alleged “grand conspiracy” and for allegedly making false statements to Congress regarding the Russia inquiry.
