Judge dismisses Brennan's evidence-preservation suit, calls claims too speculative

A federal judge in Washington, Jia Cobb, dismissed former CIA Director John Brennan's lawsuit seeking to force the Justice Department to preserve records, ruling his fears of evidence destruction were too speculative. Brennan faces investigations into alleged violations of Trump's civil rights during the 2016 Russia probe and into whether he gave false 2023 congressional testimony about the Steele dossier. Cobb called Brennan's claims that the administration targeted him for opposing Trump "deeply concerning."
