So it begins . . . Grand Jury to Investigate Coup

DOJ launching grand jury investigation into Russiagate conspiracy allegations


by FoxNews.com, August 5, 2025

EXCLUSIVE: Attorney General Pam Bondi directed her staff Monday to act on the criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard related to the alleged conspiracy to tie President Donald Trump to Russia, and the Department of Justice is now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter, Fox News Digital has learned.

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 would allow the department to secure a potential indictment, according to a letter from Bondi reviewed by Fox News Digital and a source familiar with the investigation.

A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on the report of an investigation but said Bondi is taking the referral from Gabbard "very seriously." The spokesperson said Bondi believed there is "clear cause for deep concern" and a need for next steps.

DNI GABBARD CLAIMS ‘DEEP STATE ACTORS’ DIDN’T WANT TRUMP-RUSSIA INFORMATION TO 'SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY'

The DOJ confirmed two weeks ago it received a criminal referral from Gabbard. The referral included a memorandum titled "Intelligence Community suppression of intelligence showing ‘Russian and criminal actors did not impact’ the 2016 presidential election via cyber-attacks on infrastructure" and asked that the DOJ open an investigation.

No charges have been brought at this stage of the investigation against any potential defendants.

The revelation that the DOJ is moving forward with a grand jury probe comes after Gabbard declassified intelligence in July that shed new light on the Obama administration’s alleged determination that Russia sought to help Trump in the 2016 election.

DOJ RECEIVES GABBARD'S CRIMINAL REFERRAL ON BOMBSHELL CLAIMS OBAMA ADMIN 'MANUFACTURED' RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX

Former President Barack Obama and his intelligence officials allegedly promoted a "contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't," Gabbard said during a press briefing of the intelligence.

Among the declassified material was a meeting record revealing how Obama allegedly requested his deputies prepare an intelligence assessment in December 2016, after Trump had won the election, that allegedly detailed the "tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election." 

That intelligence assessment stressed that Russia's actions did not affect the outcome of the election but rather were intended to sow distrust in the democratic process.

69% Agree: ‘RussiaGate’ Requires Accountability


Gabbard has alleged that Obama and his national security officials laid the "groundwork" for a narrative that then-candidate Trump and his campaign colluded to help him win the 2016 election. An FBI investigation and two special counsel investigations loomed over much of Trump's first administration.

It is unclear whom the grand jury is expected to target and what charges could be in play given the statutes of limitations for much of the activity from nearly a decade ago have lapsed.

Former Obama intelligence officials, including John Brennan, James Clapper and James Comey, have drawn scrutiny from Trump officials for their alleged involvement in developing intelligence that undermined Trump's 2016 victory.
