Justice Department escalates Trump-Russia investigation with grand jury subpoenas

In the United States, the Justice Department is demanding testimony from former officials before a grand jury in Florida. This investigation is focused on alleged conspiracies within the intelligence community against former President Donald Trump, particularly regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. The issuance of subpoenas marks a significant escalation in the inquiry, which has already involved voluntary interviews and targets individuals like former CIA Director John Brennan.
