WASHINGTON — Former CIA Director John Brennan took legal action against the Trump administration on Wednesday, filing a lawsuit that asks a court to order officials to hold onto records connected to investigations aimed at him.
According to the lawsuit, Brennan contends that those records would be critical to mounting a defense against any future indictment. He also argues the documents could help him demonstrate that any prosecution brought against him by the Republican administration would amount to a vindictive, politically driven action.
