New subpoenas issued in inquiry on response to 2016 Russian election interference, AP sources say
AI Summary
The Justice Department has issued new subpoenas as part of an ongoing investigation based in Florida, focusing on the U.S. government's response to Russian interference in the 2016 election and perceived adversaries of Donald Trump. These subpoenas seek records from the years following the January 2017 intelligence community assessment that detailed Russia's efforts to help Trump win the election. The initial subpoenas, issued in November, requested documents related to the preparation of that assessment. The investigation, one of several criminal inquiries undertaken by the Justice Department into Trump's political opponents, has targeted numerous former intelligence and law enforcement officials, including former CIA Director John Brennan. The probe appears to be examining the origins and handling of the assessment that concluded Russia favored Trump in the 2016 election.
