Justice Department officials have sent a flurry of subpoenas to former law enforcement and intelligence officials since diGenova's exit.
Reported in the AP/PBS wire story and corroborated by CBS and ABC subpoena reporting, though 'since diGenova's exit' compresses a subpoena sequence that began before Sept. 10 (Brennan's subpoena was signed by diGenova).

Grand jury testimony is expected in the coming weeks in Fort Pierce, Florida.
AP reports a subpoena returnable to an Oct. 15 Fort Pierce grand jury; the broader 'coming weeks' expectation is a forward-looking characterization from the wire.

The probe seeks to fold separate FBI investigations of Trump — Russian election interference and the Mar-a-Lago classified documents — into a single conspiracy case.
Characterization of prosecutors' theory drawn from AP and NYT reporting on a 'far-reaching' civil-rights-conspiracy theory stretching 2016–2024; the story states it as fact without naming who describes the theory that way.
