The Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the prosecutors of the Department of Justice to launch an investigation of the Grand Jury on whether Obama’s administration committed federal crimes when they evaluated Russia’s actions during the 2016 elections, said a senior official of the Trump administration.
The National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, said at a press conference from the White House last month that the main officials of the Obama administration carried out a “traitorous conspiracy” against Donald Trump. Gabbard said he was sending criminal references to the Department of Justice.
A former official of the High Level Department of Justice condemned the measure as “a dangerous political trick.” And a former national senior official said that multiple previous reviews, including those made by the Republicans, did not find such crimes.
“There is no logical and rational basis for this,” said the official, who asked not to be appointed.
The senior Trump administration official said there is no exact schedule for when the grand jury will meet and that it could take months for the procedure to begin. Fox News first reported Bondi’s letter.
The official said that a letter signed by Bondi instructs an unidentified federal prosecutor who begins to present evidence to a large jury to ensure possible federal accusations. But the letter does not say what the charges would be, who will investigate the grand jury or where it will meet.
A spokesman for the Department of Justice declined to comment.
Democratic legislators have accused the administration of seeking to distract the attention of the case of Jeffrey Epstein. Conservative media and influencers have criticized how the administration has managed the case and demands the publication of more documents and information.
The director of Trump, Bondi and the FBI, Kash Patel, have been criticized by conservative media and influencers for their management of Epstein’s research and the material related to it.
A review of the Bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee of 2020 contradicted the idea that Obama administration officials there was a conspiracy against Trump, finding significant evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Then-sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., The interim president of the Committee at that time, signed the report.
The plans for a large jury investigation are the last of a series of actions of the Trump administration designed to rewrite the history of the 2016 elections and seek compensation against those whom Trump accuses of trying to sabotage his first mandate in the White House.
Democratic legislators and former senior officials say that Trump and his deputies have used the tools of government authority to try to “rewrite” the history of the 2016 elections, seeking to reverse an eight -year evaluation that Russia fought an informative war to promote Trump’s candidacy.
Trump and his supporters have long affirmed that intelligence and officials responsible for enforcing the law sought to undermine their first mandate exaggerating Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections and investigating Trump’s assistants about their possible contacts with Moscow.
They have accused former FBI director James Comey and former CIA director John Brennan to use the probes to undermine Trump.
A Comey lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comments. Comey and Brennan, who is a taxpayer paid to NBC News and MSNBC, have denied irregularities.
The analysis of the intelligence community of the 2016 elections and the subsequent government investigations failed to satisfy the sides of the extreme right and extreme left of the US political division.
An investigation by special lawyer Robert Mueller discovered that Russia intervened in 2016 to undermine Hillary Clinton. But he found no evidence that the Trump team colluded with the Kremlin, as some voices had suggested to the left.
At the same time, the special lawyer that Trump appointed in his first term, John Durham, disappointed the extreme right activists with his three -year investigation.
Durham did not find a criminal conspiracy among Obama administration officials to manufacture intelligence on Russia’s actions in 2016. Nor did he present charges against intelligence officers who supervised a 2017 evaluation that found Russia that Russia had tried to biased the electoral result in favor of Trump.
Trump, as president and candidate, has represented former President Barack Obama and other former prison administration officials and requested his imprisonment. He has also published an artificial intelligence video of himself smiling when Obama’s false representation is arrested by FBI agents and put in jail.
