Former CIA Director John Brennan’s lawyers told a federal judge on Monday that charges are looming in two investigations being handled by federal prosecutors in Florida, urging her to take the highly unusual step of ordering the government to preserve records before any indictment is made.

Kenneth Wainstein, an attorney for Brennan, said his client is a target of investigations into alleged false statements to Congress and into whether he played a key role in conspiring to deprive President Donald Trump of his rights.
