DOJ Makes Embarrassing U-Turn Over Trump Enemy Probe

The Justice Department issued and then quickly withdrew several subpoenas that were part of a criminal probe involving one of President Donald Trump’s longest-running conspiracy theories.

The president has long claimed he’s the victim of a “grand conspiracy” of Democrats and “deep-state” operatives who have been working to destroy him since his first term in office, despite a lack of evidence.

As part of its wide-ranging “grand conspiracy” probe, the DOJ has issued dozens of subpoenas to intelligence officials who concluded in January 2017 that Russia was trying to tip the election in Trump’s favor, and has opened a criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan.
