BREAKING: Grand Jury Officially Ordered For Trump-Russia Hoax

A grand jury has been convened to investigate sweeping claims of corruption by Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, and former top members of the U.S. intelligence community in the run-up and aftermath of the 2016 election, Fox News confirmed late Monday afternoon.

In a signed order, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directed an unnamed federal prosecutor to “take to a grand jury evidence related to a conspiracy to tie then-2016 candidate Donald Trump to the country of Russia,” a Fox anchor stated.

The brief one-page order does not indicate whether Clinton, Obama, or other former government officials are targets of the probe. However, other members of the Trump administration have publicly confirmed turning over evidence against those individuals specifically.

The DOJ, which declined to comment on Fox’s report, confirmed that Bondi is taking action based on referrals for criminal prosecution from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Bondi, a spokesperson said, “believes there is clear cause for concern” and a need for next steps.

News of the grand jury’s convening comes just weeks after Gabbard, in a fiery press conference, accused Obama and top officials, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper of orchestrating a “coverup” by planting false intelligence in a report concluding that Trump won the 2016 election with help from Russia actors who sought to undermine confidence in America’s voting systems.

Ratcliffe previously produced his own report alleging that Brennan, his successor, siloed off the CIA as he raced to compile a report on the 2016 election, which included the discredited Steele dossier despite calls from other intelligence officials to jettison it.

These revelations and others prove to Gabbard “there was a conspiracy to undermine Trump’s candidacy, and later his first term in office,” Fox reported.

No charges or indictments have yet been brought, the newscaster cautioned, while stating that the grand jury is an early step in the process.

“We don’t know where the grand jury will meet. We don’t know who will go before the grand jury,” he stated.

Even before Monday’s news, it was clear to those involved that a grand jury may be the next step in the Trump administration’s investigation.

In a New York Times op-ed last week, Brennan and Clapper purported to try and “set the record straight” after facing accusations that they weaponized U.S. intelligence services to paint President Trump as a Manchurian candidate under the control of Russian forces.

“Every serious review has substantiated the intelligence community’s fundamental conclusion that the Russians conducted an influence campaign intended to help Mr. Trump win the 2016 election,” they wrote.
