Trump’s ‘grand conspiracy’ probe presses on with subpoenas after the lead prosecutor’s exit
Prosecutors have issued subpoenas and grand-jury demands as they try to connect the Russia probe and Mar-a-Lago documents case.
- After five months leading the 'grand conspiracy' investigation, Joe diGenova has left his position without bringing charges. The Justice Department remains committed to the probe despite the leadership change.
- President Donald Trump initiated the investigation to prove an ill-defined 'deep state' conspiracy against his administration. The probe attempts to connect Russian election interference and classified document retention into a single narrative of government misconduct.
- Retired federal prosecutor Randall Eliason stated there is 'no basis for an allegation' that the investigations constitute criminal acts. Attorney Ken Wainstein, representing CIA Director John Brennan, called the approach 'blatantly trying to frame somebody.'
- Justice Department officials are pressing forward, issuing subpoenas to former intelligence officials expected to yield grand jury testimony in the weeks ahead. Testimony will occur at Fort Pierce, Florida, overseen by Trump-appointed federal judge Aileen Cannon.
- Whether the investigation will yield formal charges remains uncertain as the team works without a permanent leader. Prosecutor Kurt Olsen continues efforts despite prior investigations finding no proof of criminal wrongdoing by senior officials.
