Pam Bondi Orders Grand Jury Probe into Russiagate Allegations Against Obama Officials

Grand Jury Investigation Launched into Russiagate Allegations

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the Department of Justice to initiate a grand jury investigation into allegations surrounding the Russiagate conspiracy.

Background

This action follows a criminal referral from former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

According to reports, Bondi authorized a federal prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury, potentially leading to an indictment.

DOJ Response

The DOJ confirmed it received Gabbard's referral, which included documentation alleging the Intelligence Community suppressed evidence indicating Russian activities did not affect the 2016 election's outcome.

Gabbard's Declassification

Gabbard previously declassified intelligence suggesting the Obama administration promoted a false narrative about Russian interference favoring Trump.

Declassified materials show Obama requested an intelligence assessment in December 2016 regarding Moscow's electoral influence methods. This assessment concluded that while Russia aimed to create distrust, its actions didn't impact the election's results.

Investigation Details

The scope and potential charges of the grand jury investigation remain unclear.
