‘Grand conspiracy’ probe seeks to prove cabal of ‘deep state’ Democrats led by Obama tried to destroy Trump | 10 Nov 2025 | A Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Miami has launched a probe into a ‘grand conspiracy’ by Democrats led by Barack Obama to destroy Trump’s political ambitions. Jason Reding Quinones, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, has subpoenaed at least 30 Obama officials involved with an investigation into Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, The New York Times reported. The Miami probe follows up on a far right theory that Obama officials used the “hoax” investigation in an in attempt to jail Trump after the 2016 election. Quinones has now issued more than two dozen subpoenas, some to officials who took part in the Russia inquiry. So far, they include ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI agent Peter Strzok and ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page. In a rare move, the U.S. attorney has called a meeting Monday of dozens of career prosecutors in the major crimes unit.
