In a move that’s sent shockwaves through the political landscape, US Attorney General Pam Bondi has launched a grand jury investigation into allegations of a “Russiagate conspiracy” against President Donald Trump. The investigation, which is ongoing, aims to determine whether former officials committed crimes related to the Trump-Russia probe.
The Investigation: What’s at Stake and Who Could Be Indicted ?
According to sources, the investigation is based on a declassified report by Representative Tulsi Gabbard, which claims that Obama’s national security team politicized intelligence during the 2016 presidential election. The report, which was released earlier this year, sparked controversy and allegations of a deep-state conspiracy against Trump.
The Allegations: A ‘Russiagate Conspiracy’ Against Trump?
Bondi’s decision to launch a grand jury investigation comes after months of scrutiny and criticism of the Trump-Russia probe.

The Trump-Russia probe was launched in 2016, shortly after Trump’s victory in the presidential election. The investigation was led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and was focused on allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Conclusion
The grand jury investigation launched by Pam Bondi is a significant development in the ongoing saga of the Trump-Russia probe. The investigation is likely to raise questions about the role of Obama’s national security team in the 2016 election and could potentially lead to indictments of former officials involved in the probe.
FAQs
What is the Russiagate conspiracy?
The “Russiagate” conspiracy posits that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. While Russian interference was confirmed by U.S. intelligence, the theory alleges the campaign actively coordinated with Moscow to secure victory. Critics argue this narrative was politically motivated and not fully supported by evidence
What are the findings of the Trump-Russia probe?
Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election through hacking and disinformation, and that Trump associates had numerous contacts with Russian-linked individuals but found no criminal conspiracy or coordination. The report did not reach a conclusion regarding obstruction of justice; Barr and Rosenstein decided not to charge Trump.
What is the significance of Tulsi Gabbard's report?
Tulsi Gabbard’s intelligence report alleges that Obama-era officials deliberately manipulated or misused intelligence to promote the Trump – Russia narrative, potentially fabricating key evidence. Her disclosures have prompted a grand jury probe by the DOJ and are being framed as a challenge to the original investigation’s legitimacy.
What is the reaction of Donald Trump to the allegations?
Donald Trump has welcomed Gabbard’s findings and framed them as proof of a politically motivated “deep state” plot against him. He has repeatedly dismissed the original probe as a hoax, calling it an unfair witch hunt and asserting that the truth will eventually prevail.
What is the current status of the Russiagate investigation?
As of now, the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi has convened a grand jury to examine Gabbard’s allegations about intelligence misconduct. This investigation supplements prior inquiries, including Mueller’s and Durham’s reports, and is focused on whether high-level officials knowingly misled the public.
