“An aide to Donald Trump was at a D.C. federal courthouse on Thursday for a grand jury appearance that is part of an investigation of the former president, as the Justice Department moves toward deciding whether to criminally charge Trump in connection with his efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election,” the Washington Post reports.
“William Russell served in the White House as a special assistant and the deputy director of presidential advance operations and continued to work as a personal aide for Trump after Trump left office in January 2021. Russell was asked to appear Thursday after making prior grand jury appearances.”
“A data expert who worked with the Trump campaign on the 2020 election also was scheduled to appear before a grand jury at the courthouse.”
