Pam Bondi has a new probe into the handling of 2016 Russian meddling. John Durham already spent four years investigating it
UNITED STATES, AUG 11 – Pam Bondi ordered a grand jury probe after Tulsi Gabbard released documents alleging a seditious conspiracy by Obama officials to fabricate Russia election interference intelligence.
- In 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed federal prosecutors to initiate a grand jury inquiry into allegations that intelligence related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election was deliberately manipulated.
- The inquiry was largely initiated in response to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's claims that intelligence from the Obama administration was manipulated or overstated to support the original probe.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi, along with FBI Director Kash Patel, authorized the declassification of an annex document, which Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley later made public; the document alleges a scheme by the Clinton campaign to falsely associate Trump with Russia.
- John Durham's 2019 to 2023 probe found significant procedural errors by the FBI but no political conspiracy or clear wrongdoing by Obama-era officials.
- Bondi's reopening of the probe revives debate amid political division and may review whether intelligence sources were misused, while no public charges or targets have been disclosed yet.
