Special counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury as he and his team of 16 prosecutors dig deeper into allegations that Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to meddle in the 2016 presidential election.
The grand jurors, who are responsible for examining subpoenaed documents and listening to witness testimony, will ultimately decide whether charges are warranted.
That’s significant because it means Mueller is exploring the possibility of pursuing criminal charges.
The grand jury gives Mueller the power to issue subpoenas and compel witnesses to testify.
The scope could easily grow as subpoenas and testimony comes in.
