The channel pointed out that it has seen the one-page order, signed earlier on Monday by Bondi, while a source close to the investigation has confirmed its authenticity.
While the Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to comment, Fox reports that Bondi is taking Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s referrals seriously, citing "clear cause for deep concern" and the need for further action.
The channel underscored that no charges or indictments have been filed yet, and the DOJ is in the early stages, presenting evidence to a grand jury in hopes of pursuing potential indictments.
