Frankenstein's Mueller |
Special counsel Robert Mueller's grand jury raises stakes in Russia investigation

WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert
Mueller is reportedly tapping a federal grand jury in Washington to
advance the federal investigation into Russia's interference in the
presidential election, a sign the probe is intensifying and could go on
for months or years.
The move would
give Mueller, a former FBI director, broad authority to subpoena
documents and compel witnesses to testify under oath.
Mueller
has been investigating possible collusion between Trump associates and
Russians who sought to influence last year's election by hacking
Democrats. The probe's expansion is also virtually sure to incense
President Trump, who is already furious with the Russia investigation he
calls a "witch hunt."
