Justice Department probes 2017 Russia election assessment | JQJO

The Justice Department launched a fresh probe into the Obama-era intelligence assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election, issuing grand jury subpoenas from the Southern District of Florida, according to people familiar. Records tied to the January 2017 report are sought, with possible recipients including former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page; as many as 30 subpoenas are expected. It’s unclear whether criminal charges will follow. The review revisits the Steele dossier’s handling as earlier reports affirmed Russia’s hack-and-leak and social media campaigns.
