The Department of Justice (DOJ) opened a grand jury investigation into an alleged conspiracy by Obama administration officials to manufacture intelligence about Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to multiple reports.
Attorney General Pam Bondi directed a federal prosecutor, who is expected to present evidence to a grand jury, to begin legal proceedings, according to a letter Fox News first reported.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents in July detailing “overwhelming evidence” that Obama administration officials “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to fuel a false narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election. She called for “every person involved” to be investigated. Gabbard turned the documents over to the DOJ.
A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment. The DOJ announced a Strike Force to “assess the evidence publicized” by Gabbard on July 23.
Gabbard said during a July 23 press briefing that she referred former President Barack Obama to the DOJ for investigation.
During an Oval Office press conference, Trump suggested the DOJ should target Obama.
“It’s there. He’s guilty,” Trump said. “This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody’s ever even imagined, even in other countries.”
