Federal prosecutors in Miami have subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey as part of a broad Justice Department investigation into alleged misconduct by Obama-era intelligence officials during the 2016 presidential election and subsequent Trump-related probes. The investigation, led by U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones, has issued over 130 subpoenas to former intelligence and law enforcement officials, expanding its scope from 2016 to the present amid claims of a coordinated effort to undermine Trump. While Trump allies describe the probe as uncovering a "grand conspiracy," legal experts highlight challenges due to the statute of limitations, and Comey has previously faced legal scrutiny related to his 2016 actions.

Former President Donald Trump has suggested that he may soon be charged in the Department of Justice's investigation into his handling of classified documents. He has denied any wrongdoing and accused the Justice Department of targeting him for political reasons, while noting that Hillary Clinton was not charged for having classified information on her private email server. Three of his lawyers were recently seen leaving the Justice Department after meeting with special counsel John Durham, who is leading the investigation.
Former President Donald Trump's lawyers were spotted at the Justice Department on Monday, as the grand jury investigating Trump's handling of classified documents is expected to meet again this week. Special counsel Jack Smith is investigating Trump after documents with classified markings were found at his Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, in August 2022. Three of Trump's lawyers were seen walking into the Justice Department, and prosecutors are looking into whether there were efforts to obstruct attempts to recover the records. It is unclear when a charging decision will be made, or if the Justice Department will take any action against Trump or his associates.
