Fox News reported on Mondaythat Bondi directed an unnamed federal prosecutor to start legal proceedings, with plans to present evidence to a grand jury for a potential indictment, according to a letter from Bondi and a source familiar with the investigation.
The announcement comes after the attorney general announced the creationof a "strike force" to look into the evidence Gabbard and her team gathered.
Gabbard alleges that Obama administration officials politicized intelligence and laid the groundwork for a "years-long coup" against President Donald Trump after he won the 2016 election.

She claimed in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that former President Barack Obamaand key members of his national security team, including then-CIA Director John Brennan and then-DNI James Clapper, fabricated a narrative about Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election to subvert Trump’s presidency.
Gabbard told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that, despite the improbability of Obama facing serious charges due to the Supreme Court’s 2024 presidential immunity ruling, she wanted to release the declassified documents to protect the nation’s "integrity."
"The integrity of our democratic republic depends on the American people knowing the truth about what actually happened and seeking that accountability, bringing about that accountability," said the former Democratic congresswoman.
"This was not a one-off thing. This wasn't just, ‘Oh, well, they fudged the lines a little bit.’ They created a lie and propagated that lie in order to try to undermine the person that the American people chose to be our president and commander-in-chief."
