John Yoo, a conservative law professor known for his views on presidential power, has confirmed he will advise Joseph diGenova, a former United States — United States Department of Justice prosecutor. Joseph diGenova was assigned in April to investigate whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against former President Donald Trump. The investigation, being conducted in Florida, is partly focused on the 2016 US presidential election and alleged Russian interference to boost Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. While Robert Mueller's 2019 report affirmed Russia's interference, it found no criminal conspiracy between Moscow and the Donald Trump campaign.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed the United States — United States Department of Justice is actively investigating these claims.
