John Brennan's lawsuit against Trump officials tossed as speculative
Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- A Biden-appointed judge dismissed former CIA Director John Brennan’s lawsuit against President Trump and senior officials, ruling his concerns about evidence destruction were too speculative and he lacked standing to sue.
- Brennan faces two federal investigations, including probes into whether former intelligence officials violated Trump's civil rights and whether Brennan made false statements during congressional testimony about the Steele dossier.
- The judge acknowledged Brennan’s concerns about being targeted but ruled that potential evidence deletion depended on a series of uncertain future events, preventing a constitutional injury claim.
- Brennan’s lawsuit accused the Justice Department of irregular conduct, including replacing prosecutors and attempting to steer grand jury proceedings to a favorable judge, while raising concerns about public disclosures of investigation details.
- Brennan has not been charged and was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury, though his appearance was postponed; his attorneys vow to continue defending him and challenge any political retribution attempts.
