US Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered prosecutors to open legal proceedings into allegations of a so-called Russiagate conspiracy that Donald Trump has long claimed was concocted by political foes to smear him, BBC reported.
Bondi has ordered a federal prosecutor to seek a potential indictment, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.
It is unclear, however, what the possible charges might be and who could be charged.
Last month, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama and his national security team of a "years-long coup" against Trump as she released a declassified report that Democrats branded false, according to BBC.
