James Comey subpoenaed in 'grand conspiracy' case against Trump

More than 130 subpoenas have been issued in the probe targeting former Obama-era officials over alleged intelligence abuses tied to the 2016 Russia investigation.

  • On Thursday, federal prosecutors in Miami subpoenaed Former FBI Director James Comey as part of a wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" investigation targeting Obama-era intelligence officials.
  • The sprawling investigation, which has issued over 130 subpoenas, stems from a 2016 criminal referral by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleging a "treasonous conspiracy" by Obama-era officials to undermine Trump.
  • Prosecutors are examining Comey's role in drafting the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which a CIA "Tradecraft Review" criticized for running "counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermining the credibility of a key judgment."
  • Targeted officials decry the probe as "a vendetta in search of a crime," while critics raise forum-shopping concerns about the venue in Fort Pierce, overseen by District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee.
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi frames the inquiry as a "strategic use of legal systems" protecting Democrats while targeting Republicans, with recent subpoenas broadening the probe's timeline from 2016 through the present day.
