The United States — United States Department of Justice has sought voluntary interviews with United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation officials related to the 2022 search of Donald Trump's United States — Mar-a-Lago estate, as part of a Florida-based inquiry aiming to establish a conspiracy against the Republican president. The requests, made in recent weeks, suggest the investigation, previously focused on Russian interference in the 2016 election, now also examines the United States — Mar-a-Lago search. The probe is led by Joseph diGenova, who returned to the Justice Department in April. Trump was indicted in 2023 for retaining classified documents but the case was dismissed in 2024 by Judge Aileen Cannon, who ruled special counsel Jack Smith was illegally appointed. The Justice Department has conducted the investigation for months, seeking to prove wrongdoing by officials involved in scrutinizing Trump. Congressional Republicans have raised questions about the justification for the search.
