Former FBI Director James Comey subpoenaed in Florida-led DOJ probe into 2016 election misconduct, amid legal and political controversy.

Former FBI Director James Comey has been ordered to testify as part of a wide-ranging investigation by the U.S. Florida lawyer Jason A. Reding Quiñones is focusing on the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference in the election. Under the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, the probe looks into possible wrongdoing by former intelligence officials during the 2016 election period. Over 130 subpoenas have been issued. Trump's supporters call the investigation a "grand conspiracy" and say that illegal behavior is still going on that warrants prosecution, even though the usual five-year statute of limitations has passed. The subpoena for Comey is about his part in writing the report that said Russia interfered to help Trump. Legal experts are questioning the case's validity because of the prosecutor's appointment and lack of evidence.
