Overview
- More than two dozen subpoenas went to former intelligence and FBI figures, including James Clapper, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page, seeking records from July 2016 through February 2017 with returns due as soon as Nov. 20.
- The investigation centers on the January 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian interference and has been broadened after being moved to U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones in Miami from an earlier Brennan-focused review.
- The Independent reports the Justice Department approved at least 30 subpoenas and that Quiñones convened investigators after two top prosecutors resigned from the South Florida office, according to MSNBC.
- A court order with a Jan. 12, 2026 grand jury start date has appeared on the South Florida docket without naming a subject, which Trump allies have cited as they forecast next steps.
- Trump-aligned influencers promote a sweeping ‘grand conspiracy’ narrative that reporters describe as unsupported by evidence, with figures like Mike Davis publicly cheering the subpoenas as symbolic victories.
