US Justice Department launches probe into Obama-era Russia intel claims: Reuters
A source reported to Reuters that US Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into allegations that members of former President Barack Obama's administration manufactured intelligence on Russia's interference in the 2016 elections. The Justice Department said late last month it was forming a strike force to assess claims made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about "alleged weaponization of the US intelligence community." Republican US President Donald Trump has leaped on comments from Gabbard in which she threatened to refer Obama administration officials to the Justice Department for prosecution over an intelligence assessment of Russian interference. Fox News first reported that Bondi personally ordered an unnamed federal prosecutor to initiate legal proceedings and the prosecutor is expected to present department evidence to a grand jury, which could consider an indictment if the Justice Department pursued a criminal case. The report cited a letter from Bondi and a source. A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment. Referring to the probe in a post on Truth Social, Trump said: "The TRUTH always wins out. This is great news." Last month, Trump accused Obama of treason, alleging, without providing evidence, that the Democrat led an effort to falsely tie him to Russia and undermine his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump won the 2016 election against Democrat Hillary Clinton. A spokesperson for Obama had denounced Trump's claims, saying "these bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction."
