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 subpoenaed remains unclear as of Tuesday.
- Led by Reagan-era prosecutor Joe diGenova, the investigation operates out of Fort Pierce, Florida, focusing on the government's response to Russian interference in the 2016 election. 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 whether he falsely testified to Congress, something he has repeatedly denied. His legal team previously asked the court to prevent the case from being steered to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, whom they described as a "favored" Trump judge.
- DiGenova's team has sought interviews with law enforcement officials involved in the 2022 FBI search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, which recovered classified documents. These efforts represent an escalation in the year-long investigation into alleged intelligence community conspiracy.
- Trump has long characterized the intelligence community's findings as a "deep state" conspiracy to undermine his legitimacy. However, previous investigations by the Justice Department and an inspector general identified errors but found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing or an anti-Trump conspiracy by senior officials.
