The department emphasized that the issue is being treated with \u201cthe utmost seriousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1150\" data-end=\"1400\">\n<p data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1400\">\u201cThe Department of Justice is proud to work alongside Director Gabbard in pursuit of truth and accountability,\u201d said Attorney General Pam Bondi. \u201cWe will investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1538\">Insiders say the DOJ\u2019s National Security Division will likely lead the probe, with possible coordination from multiple federal agencies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div id=\"usaunfiltered24.com_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"CJWb3ai6u48DFZSTJwIdC44Y9Q\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23293390090\/usaunfiltered24.com\/usaunfiltered24.com_responsive_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1540\" data-end=\"1945\">The formation of the strike force follows a growing list of developments involving the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) released in 2017. That report concluded that Russia interfered in the election to benefit Trump, but a recent internal review raised red flags about the way the assessment was compiled\u2014highlighting rushed timelines, procedural deviations, and questionable intelligence sourcing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1947\" data-end=\"2258\">Earlier this month, CIA Director John Ratcliffe submitted a criminal referral to the FBI regarding former CIA Director John Brennan\u2019s role in shaping the ICA.
