New grand jury subpoenas being sent in investigation targeting Trump-Russia probe, AP sources say
Investigators are seeking sworn testimony from former officials as they expand a year-long probe into alleged misconduct in the Trump-Russia inquiry.
- The Justice Department is demanding testimony before a Florida grand jury in an investigation into an alleged intelligence community conspiracy against President Donald Trump. Investigators have contacted defense lawyers regarding forthcoming subpoenas, though the number of witnesses remains unclear as of Tuesday.
- Led by Reagan-era prosecutor Joe diGenova, the investigation operates out of Fort Pierce, Florida, scrutinizing the 2016 government response to Russian interference. The probe aims to establish that intelligence officials conspired against Trump and violated his rights.
- Former CIA Director John Brennan is a target as investigators examine his congressional testimony, while his lawyers have expressed concerns about U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon. His team previously requested the case not be steered to the "favored" Trump-appointed judge.
- In an indication of the probe's reach, diGenova's team has sought interviews with officials involved in the 2022 FBI search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida. These efforts represent an escalation in the year-long investigation.
- Trump has long characterized the intelligence community's findings as a "deep state" conspiracy to undermine his legitimacy. However, previous Justice Department investigations identified errors but found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing or an anti-Trump conspiracy by senior officials.
