The Department of Justice (DOJ) on July 23 announced that it was forming a task force following the declassification of documents by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) that shed light on the origins of false claims that then-candidate Donald Trump won the 2016 election with Russia’s help.

In a statement, the DOJ said that the task force would “assess the evidence publicized by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and investigate potential next legal steps which might stem from DNI Gabbard’s disclosures.”
