The U.S. Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, has initiated a grand jury investigation into allegations that officials from former President Barack Obama's administration fabricated intelligence regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. This probe aims to re-examine the origins and conduct of the Russiagate investigation, which previously resulted in no charges against the main figures involved. Prosecutors are expected to present evidence and call witnesses in the coming weeks, although no specific targets have been named. Separately, the DOJ has also expanded its scrutiny of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who previously won a $454 million civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump. The department has issued two subpoenas to James related to her office's handling of the civil fraud investigation into Trump and a case involving the National Rifle Association. James is reportedly under investigation for potential misconduct, including allegations of deprivation of rights and mortgage fraud. She has criticized the investigations as politically motivated. These developments mark a continuation of legal and political actions involving key figures from both the Obama and Trump administrations.
