  "account": "Former FBI employees who were part of the criminal investigation into President Donald Trump's retention of classified documents have been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in a Florida-based conspiracy probe, according to their lawyers. They have asked a judge to clarify whether they can testify without breaking an order that limits the release of information. The subpoenas, issued this month, require the former employees to appear in Fort Pierce, Florida. The investigation, which is being conducted by the Justice Department, is focused on a theory of a \"deep state\" conspiracy to deprive Trump of his civil rights and prevent him from holding power. The probe so far has centered on former government officials who investigated ties between Russia and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, but the newly disclosed subpoenas suggest a broader scope, including the FBI's 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago for classified documents. The filing on behalf of the subpoenaed employees raises a new legal question for U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who not only dismissed the classified documents prosecution against Trump but also presides over the Fort Pierce courthouse where the investigation is centered.",
