Pam Bondi Escalates Attacks On Obama Officials By Calling For Grand Jury Investigation: Reports
HuffPost
The maneuver adds to the Trump administration's efforts to distract from the uproar over its handling of the Epstein files.
The Justice Department is reportedly probing allegations that Obama officials fabricated evidence of Russian interference during the 2016 election, doubling down on attempts to distract from its controversial handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Per reports from CNN and Fox News, Attorney General Pam Bondi has called on prosecutors to initiate a grand jury investigation into these claims – a move that could lead to subpoenas of former officials and even potential indictments.

Bondi’s decision effectively endorses Trump’s latest baseless conspiracy theory — which has included accusing Obama of treason — and comes as the administration has struggled to move on from the Epstein debacle.
