“And in order for that, for there to be true accountability, the Department of Justice may have to act.”ĭOJ has signaled particular interest in the bevy of lawyers who surrounded Trump during his final weeks in the White House - including Eastman, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), a member of the select panel on the Capitol attack by Trump supporters.
“We’ve spoken a lot about accountability,” said Rep. 6 select committee is still pursuing wide-ranging inquiries into Trump’s conduct and preparing to reveal reams of evidence to federal prosecutors as well. Federal prosecutors revealed on July 27 they had obtained a new search warrant to access the phone of one of those allies, attorney John Eastman. The Justice Department is seeking information about a host of well-known allies in Trump’s effort to disrupt the transfer of power and claim a second term he didn’t win. To add even more to the list of probes edging closer to the former president, he is also under an Atlanta-area grand jury investigation by a local prosecutor. While at least two former top White House officials have appeared before a grand jury recently, it’s not yet clear whether Trump is, or will become, the target of a federal criminal probe.
