It remains to be seen what charges the DOJ could try to bring against Minnesota officials, if any. The subpoenas into the Minnesota officials over immigration is also distinct from a criminal referral Vice President JD Vance <u>made<\/u> in June, which asked the DOJ to investigate Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison for potential misconduct in connection with <u>alleged fraud schemes<\/u> in the state. Making a criminal referral to the DOJ doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the agency will launch an investigation, and it\u2019s unclear whether the DOJ may be pursuing Vance\u2019s claims. If it is, that investigation would not be impacted by Schiltz\u2019s ruling Monday.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Background<\/h2>\n<p>The subpoenas against the Minnesota officials are part of a broader string of actions the DOJ has taken against Trump\u2019s political enemies, as numerous foes of the president have come under investigation. The DOJ has launched investigations into such Democrats as New York Attorney General Letitia James, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and California Gov. <u>Gavin Newsom<\/u>, along with others who have drawn the president\u2019s ire, like former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, former FBI Director James Comey and former Trump adviser John Bolton. While Bolton will <u>plead guilty<\/u> to charges related to retaining classified documents, the Trump administration has suffered a number of setbacks in other cases: A judge dismissed prosecutions against Comey and James, grand juries rejected new charges against the New York AG and, similar to Monday\u2019s ruling, a judge also <u>threw out<\/u> a subpoena against Powell for being politically motivated. (The DOJ has since brought new charges against Comey.) Schiltz pointed to the DOJ\u2019s pattern of investigating the president\u2019s enemies as being further evidence the Minnesota subpoenas were retaliatory, writing the subpoenas \u201cplayed out against the backdrop of the Trump administration\u2019s well-established history of using criminal investigations to retaliate against and pressure the President&#8217;s political and personal adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=892\">Kennedy Center Becoming A \u2018Lifeless Husk\u2019 Under Trump, Court Filing Alleges<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Further Reading<\/h2>\n<p><u>Gov.
