US EditionJustice Department opens grand jury probe into Obama officials over Russia investigation
- On August 6, 2025, the Department of Justice authorized a grand jury to examine claims involving officials from the Obama administration related to the 2016 Russia election interference assessment, with Florida considered a likely location for the proceedings.
- This investigation follows longstanding claims by Trump and allies that the Russia collusion case was a fabricated political scheme involving Obama and Clinton campaign officials starting in 2016.
- Prosecutors may issue grand jury subpoenas to top senior staff from Hillary Clinton’s campaign and explore charges related to a scheme to obstruct government functions under federal statute 18 USC 371, as well as potential perjury connected to misleading intelligence assessments and FISA warrant applications.
- Legal experts warn that politicizing indictments risks undermining fairness and note that presidential immunity covers official acts but not illegal ones, with some witnesses expected to invoke the Fifth Amendment.
- Holding the grand jury outside Washington, potentially in Florida, could offer tactical advantages for Trump, though many experts doubt it will result in indictments amid calls for impartial justice.
