Pam Bondi Assembles “Strike Force” to Probe Obama-Era Role in Trump-Russia Collusion Claims

In a bold move shaking up Washington’s political landscape, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced the formation of a special “strike force” dedicated to investigating alleged misconduct by then-President Barack Obama and his intelligence officials. The probe focuses on the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative — a controversy that dominated headlines for years and fueled widespread division across the nation.

Speaking at a press conference, Bondi stated the task force would “leave no stone unturned” as it pursues the truth behind what she called “an orchestrated political smear campaign” against then-candidate and later President Donald J. Trump. She alleged that Obama-era intelligence figures played a pivotal role in pushing the now-debunked narrative that Trump had colluded with Russian operatives to sway the 2016 election.

“This is about accountability,” Bondi declared. “The American people deserve to know whether senior officials at the highest levels of government abused their power to influence an election and undermine a presidency.”

The announcement comes amid growing calls from Trump allies to revisit the origins of the Russia probe, especially in light of revelations from the Durham Report and other investigations that cast doubt on the integrity of some intelligence practices. Critics argue that partisan motives may have fueled the FBI’s surveillance and media leaks during the early stages of the Trump presidency.

Bondi did not name specific individuals under investigation but emphasized that the strike force would operate independently and follow the evidence wherever it leads. “This is not about politics,” she insisted. “It’s about restoring faith in our institutions.”

The move has already sparked backlash from Democrats, who accuse Bondi of engaging in political theater aimed at rewriting the history of the Russia investigation. Nevertheless, her supporters argue the probe is long overdue and necessary to ensure no administration, past or future, can weaponize intelligence agencies for political gain.

As the strike force gets underway, all eyes will be on what, if anything, it uncovers—and how it could reshape the political narrative heading into future elections.
