Overview
- U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones is leading the Southern District of Florida grand-jury probe, which has issued more than 130 subpoenas and is overseen in Fort Pierce by Judge Aileen Cannon.
- The subpoena to the former FBI director was issued last week and concerns his alleged role in drafting the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian election interference.
- Internal reviews have criticized aspects of the ICA process and the use of Steele dossier material, which prosecutors are scrutinizing as they examine decisions by Obama- and Biden-era officials.
- Former CIA Director John Brennan, as well as Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe, have also received subpoenas, with recent demands expanding document ranges from 2016 to the present, according to CBS News.
- A 2025 indictment of Comey in a separate case was dismissed over an unlawfully appointed prosecutor, as critics now decry the Florida inquiry as political while prosecutors pursue a sweeping conspiracy theory to keep potential charges viable.
