Bondi Grand Jury Advances On Obama Officials Over 2016 Russia Report

The Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether senior FBI officials mishandled classified materials related to the bureau’s Russia probe, known as Crossfire Hurricane. Sources confirmed to CBS News that documents tied to the investigation were discovered inside “burn bags” at FBI headquarters — containers typically used to destroy sensitive information. The materials date back to the FBI’s 2016 investigation into potential ties between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia.

FBI Director Kash Patel revealed last month that thousands of documents related to the Russia probe were found in the burn bags, claiming the materials had been intentionally hidden. Patel later wrote on X, “We just uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files.” Crossfire Hurricane, launched during the 2016 campaign and extended into Trump’s presidency, became a focal point of political controversy. Although Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded that Russia interfered in the election to benefit Trump, he did not accuse Trump or his team of criminal coordination with Moscow.

Recent developments have reignited debate over the legitimacy of the original Russia investigation. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents last month that she said undermine the conclusions of a 2017 intelligence report on Russian election interference. Gabbard accused Obama-era officials of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” and a “years-long coup” against Trump, vowing to refer the matter to the Justice Department for potential charges. Former President Obama’s spokesperson dismissed these claims as “bizarre” and “ridiculous.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized prosecutors to explore possible legal action against former Obama administration officials involved in the original 2016 intelligence assessment. The Justice Department is reportedly preparing to present the case to a federal grand jury, likely in the Southern District of Florida — a venue considered more favorable to Trump than Washington, D.C. The recent confirmation of Judge Jason A. Reding Quiñones as U.S. Attorney in that district has further fueled speculation about the location and scope of the proceedings.

The investigation represents the most aggressive legal challenge yet to the 2017 findings on Russian interference, aligning closely with Trump’s long-standing claims of a politically motivated “Russia Hoax.” Legal experts have noted that a Florida grand jury, drawn from a more conservative electorate, could present a strategic advantage for Trump’s team. As the Justice Department weighs potential charges, the discovery of the burn bags has added new momentum to efforts by Trump and his allies to hold Obama-era officials accountable — signaling that the political and legal battles over the 2016 election are far from over.
