Federal Judge Declines to Order Justice Department to Preserve Records from Investigations into Former CIA Director Brennan

A federal judge declined to order the Justice Department to preserve its records from investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan. Judge Jia Cobb ruled Brennan's attorneys' arguments were too speculative, rejecting their request to gather documentation for a potential malicious prosecution defense. Brennan is currently the subject of multiple Justice Department inquiries, including one examining alleged false statements to Congress and a broader Florida-based conspiracy investigation.
