The DOJ has initiated a grand jury investigation into allegations that Obama administration officials may have violated federal laws during their investigation of Russia's involvement in the 2016 election, though specific targets or crimes have not been disclosed.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury investigation into Obama administration officials over allegations that they fabricated intelligence about Russia's interference in the 2016 election, following a referral from Tulsi Gabbard who claims to have evidence undermining the conclusion that Russia aimed to help Trump. The investigation could lead to subpoenas or criminal charges if warranted.
The GOP is cautious about fully endorsing calls to arrest Obama officials over Gabbard's release of documents related to the 2016 election, with some leaders advocating for investigation but stopping short of prosecution, amid partisan disagreements and legal complexities.

Tulsi Gabbard, now a supporter of Trump, has called for the prosecution of Obama officials, claiming they manufactured intelligence to frame Russia for interference in the 2016 election, a stance that aligns with Trump's narrative and contradicts multiple investigations confirming Russia's interference to boost Trump. She plans to turn over declassified documents to the DOJ, while critics, including Senate Democrats, dismiss her claims as attempts to rewrite history.
Tulsi Gabbard threatened to refer Obama administration officials to the Justice Department over alleged politicization of intelligence related to Russia's 2016 election interference, declassifying documents she claims undermine the official assessment, amidst ongoing investigations and bipartisan support for the original intelligence findings.
