FNC: AG Bondi Ordered A Grand Jury Over Russiagate, Believes Criminal Referrals Are A Cause For Deep Concern
FOX News correspondent David Spunt reports Attorney General Pam Bondi is acting on criminal referrals from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
DAVID SPUNT, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDNET: FOX News can confirm that Attorney General Pam Bondi today signed an order directing an unnamed U.S. federal prosecutor to take evidence to a grand jury relating to an alleged conspiracy to tie then-2016 candidate Donald Trump to the country of Russia. Now FOX News reviewed the one-page order just hours ago signed by the Attorney General. A source familiar with the probe confirms this as well. While a DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on this report of an investigation, FOX is told Attorney General Bondi is taking the referrals from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, quote, very seriously. The spokesperson says that Bondi believes there is, quote, clear cause for deep concern, end quote, and a need for the next steps. Now this move will comes just a couple of weeks after the Director of National Intelligence, you see her right there, Tulsi Gabbard, sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding what she says proves there was a conspiracy to undermine Trump’s candidacy and later his first term in office. Now to be clear today, there are no charges that have been filed, no indictments. This is incredibly early in the process. What we have here is taking evidence the Justice Department believes it has to a grand jury to secure an eventual indictment or indictments. We don’t know exactly where the grand jury will meet. We don’t know who will go before the grand jury. And that’s by design, because grand juries determine if there’s enough evidence to indict and grand juries are secretive in the American legal system. So it’s normal not to know all of the answers. Again, the DOJ declining on any comment regarding this investigation. But well, big news. This was signed by the Attorney General Pam Bondi today to take this evidence of an alleged conspiracy to a grand jury with the hope to get an indictment or multiple indictments.
