— Federal investigators working for special counsel Jack Smith questioned at least two witnesses in recent days about former President Donald Trump's conduct after the 2020 presidential election, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
On Thursday, Trump aide Will Russell appeared before a federal grand jury in Washington, according to two people familiar with the matter. A close Trump adviser, Russell was with the former president for part of the day on Jan. 6, 2021, and moved to Florida to continue working for Trump after his presidency. Russell had already testified on at least one other occasion before the grand jury.
Woodward did not identify his client by name in court and declined to comment further, regarding both CBS News reporting of Russell's testimony and the matter in McFadden's court. The special counsel's team is building a sprawling case focused on how Trump acted in the days after the election and whether the former president criminally conspired to block the certification of Joe Biden's victory in Congress, people familiar with the investigation told CBS News.
