June 8, 20232 yr Multiple witnesses subpoenaed in Florida in Trump Mar-a-Lago case Involvement of top prosecutor Jay Bratt in the Florida grand jury could suggest questions about Espionage Act violations https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/07/trump-documents-grand-jury-florida-espionage-act Quote Trump aide Taylor Budowich testified before the Florida grand jury on Wednesday, one of the people said. Questioning was expected to be led by Jay Bratt, the justice department’s counterintelligence chief detailed to the special counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the investigation. The previously unreported involvement of Bratt could suggest the questioning may focus on potential Espionage Act violations, particularly whether Trump showed off national security documents to people at his Mar-a-Lago resort – a recent focus of the investigation. Bratt, who was seen arriving in Miami on Tuesday by the Guardian, has previously appeared for grand jury proceedings in the espionage side of the investigation, as opposed to the obstruction side, which has typically been led by Smith’s other prosecutors or national security trial attorneys. A justice department spokesperson declined to comment.
