A federal prosecutor appointed by Donald Trump in Miami has initiated an investigation into what is being described as a ‘grand conspiracy’ orchestrated by Democrats, allegedly led by Barack Obama, to thwart Trump’s political career.

Jason Reding Quinones, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, has issued subpoenas to at least 30 former Obama administration officials who were involved in the investigation of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, according to a report by The New York Times.

This Miami-based inquiry is rooted in a far-right theory suggesting that Obama-era officials concocted a ‘hoax’ investigation to imprison Trump following his 2016 election victory.

Quinones has already sent out more than two dozen subpoenas, targeting figures involved in the Russia investigation. Among those subpoenaed are former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok, and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.

The launch of this contentious investigation has led to at least two prosecutors resigning after being approached to join the effort, as reported by MSNBC.

Quinones has been actively recruiting prosecutors from within his office to form a new unit aimed at targeting those perceived as ‘anti-Trumpers,’ according to Bloomberg.

In a rare move, the US attorney has called a meeting Monday of dozens of career prosecutors in the major crimes unit. 

Furthermore, a grand jury has been empaneled in the district on January 12, with speculation that more indictments against the Democrat officials will take place.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Department of Justice and the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida for comment. 

In July, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard submitted criminal referrals to the Justice Department for former President Barack Obama and his officials including ex-Intel Chief James Clapper and ex-CIA Director John Brennan.

It appears that the DOJ initially tried to hold the case in Pennsylvania but have since moved it to the southern district in Florida. 

Gabbard unveiled evidence claiming that Obama and his team illegally conspired in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election to link Donald Trump to Russia.

‘The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government,’ Gabbard said in a statement to DailyMail.com.

‘Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.

‘Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.’

Gabbard cited allegations she made accusing Obama’s White House of pushing a ‘hoax’ that Trump’s 2016 campaign was propped up by the Kremlin. 

Trump also accused Obama of treason, while the 44th president issued a statement denying all the allegations lodged against him. 

‘The complicity, the deflection, and the silence of politicians, of the mainstream media, and of those directly implicated into this speaks volumes,’ Gabbard said on Saturday. 

The former Democrat-turned-Republican also responded to a blistering comeback from Obama over her claims, in which Obama said Gabbard was making ‘bizarre allegations’ that are a ‘weak attempt at distraction’ from the Epstein files. 

Gabbard countered: ‘President Obama’s very carefully worded response that came from his office, again, deflects away from addressing any of the truth that was revealed. 

‘They would have to admit and actually address the details of their complicity in this or their absolute failure in conducting the most basic responsibilities of, again, asking, where is this intelligence coming from?’

In an X post about her criminal referral, Gabbard said: ‘Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people. 

‘No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it.

‘We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral.’ 

Gabbard’s rebuke of Obama came after the former president issued a rare statement to condemn Trump’s wild allegations of ‘treason.’ 

‘Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,’ an Obama spokesperson said. 

‘But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.’ 

The former president’s spokesman then turned to Gabbard’s report, saying: ‘Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. 

‘These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.’ 

That last lined needled Trump’s secretary of state and national security advisor, who was seated next to the president during his extended discourse on Obama and his team.

Some thought her release of documents last month was a tactic to distract from the botched Jeffrey Epstein files review, which has the DOJ reeling with calls for Bondi to resign.

The move was an escalation that takes President Trump’s administration a massive step closer to criminally charging Obama and his former administration officials.

A source familiar with the action speculated to the Daily Mail that the criminal referrals Bondi is acting on are likely for John Brennan and James Comey.

Trump and Obama have a fraught relationship, although they were spotted chatting in what appeared to be amiable fashion at Jimmy Carter’s funeral in January. Trump rode ‘birther’ conspiracies about Obama to influence in his first successful run for president.

The pushback from Obama’s team came after Trump issued an extraordinary call to investigate the ex-president – saying he had been caught ‘cold’ and accusing his predecessor of ‘treason.’

Trump issued his stunning series of attacks on the two-term Democratic president shortly after being asked yet another question about Jeffrey Epstein – the scandal that Obama appeared to be implying that Trump was trying to ‘distract’ from. 

Trump has since threatened to prosecute Obama, saying that Attorney General Pam Bondi should ‘act’ on the matter – while also indicating it was at her discretion.

‘We have a very competent, very good, very loyal to our country person in Pam Bondi – very respected. And she – it’s going to be her decision,’ Trump said.

But Trump admitted his own Supreme Court victory granting ‘presidential immunity’ means it’s unlikely Obama will be charged with treason over his handling of the ‘Russia hoax.’ 

Even if Obama were to be in trouble, the Supreme Court ruled in a monumental 2024 decision that the President of the United States has immunity from prosecution for official acts in office, in a case argued by lawyers on Trump’s behalf. 

Trump was asked if ‘presidential immunity’ would apply to Obama and the president didn’t deny it, going as far as to say he’d done his predecessor a favor. 

‘He has done criminal acts, no question about it. But he has immunity and it probably helps him a lot. He owes me big. Obama owes me big,’ Trump said.

The ex-president’s team argued in late 2023 that Trump, and any president, must have absolute immunity from prosecution over actions taken while in office or it could impair important decision-making.
