The Washington Times: A grand jury has been impaneled to hear evidence in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election and potential coordination with the Trump campaign, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The move, reported Thursday, is a sign that Mr. Mueller’s investigation is gaining momentum and entering a new phase.
The grand jury, assembled in D.C. by Robert Mueller has already been seated and begun its work investigating Russian election interference.
Grand jury deliberations are secret, with juries impaneled to consider whether there is evidence to indict someone of a crime. By assembling a grand jury, the special counsel investigators will be able to subpoena documents and question witnesses under oath.
The Mueller grand jury has issued subpoenas, Reuters reported.
