DOJ Opens Grand Jury Probe into Claims Obama Officials Conspired in 2016 Election

This is the latest use of "lawfare" by the DOJ, critics say

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury investigation into allegations that Obama administration officials broke federal laws while investigating Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing probe.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to comment on the investigation, and it remained unclear whether prosecutors had settled on specific targets or crimes they believe occurred.

Still, the development marked a significant escalation in the DOJ's push to relitigate one of President Donald Trump's long-standing and false grievances and comes as critics have argued those efforts are an attempt by the White House to use the department to punish Trump's political foes.
