A close ally of President Trump says a federal grand jury has been empaneled in Fort Pierce, Florida, to begin meeting in January and investigate a decade-long conspiracy to undermine the president.
Conservative attorney Mike Davis, an informal adviser to senior Trump officials including Attorney General Pam Bondi, says the panel will examine whether top Democrats conspired to target Trump through the 2016 Russia investigation and subsequent criminal prosecutions.
Davis revealed the development in a series of interviews with conservative podcasters, saying the move follows years of his public calls for accountability. “I’ve been publicly calling for this for three years. I’m going to make damn sure that these lawfare Democrats go to prison during the four years of President Trump’s second term,” Davis said Friday in an interview with commentator Benny Johnson.
Court records confirm that a federal judge last month ordered a grand jury to be empaneled in Fort Pierce at the request of the Trump administration. During an appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, Davis said his “buddy,” U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones of the Southern District of Florida, directed the empanelment after Davis “pushed very hard” for an investigation. Quiñones’s name appears on the administrative order establishing the panel.
According to Davis, the investigation will explore whether former Biden administration officials and others violated federal law under 18 U.S.C. § 241, which criminalizes a conspiracy by two or more persons to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any individual in the free exercise of rights or privileges protected by the Constitution or federal law.
Over the weekend, President Trump again accused Democrats of rigging the 2020 election on Truth Social, calling their actions “illegal and highly unethical” and demanding DOJ action.
“Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything,” he wrote.
