The grand jury has summoned more than one witness, the people said, and the case is ongoing. The people declined to identify those who had been called to testify.
The presence of the grand jury shows prosecutors are treating the matter seriously, locking in the accounts of witnesses who might later have to testify at a trial. But such panels are sometimes used only as investigative tools, and it remains unclear if McCabe will ultimately be charged.

(843 posts)Trump has ordered the Justice Department to go after anyone in the FBI who was conducting investigations that could implicate the Trump campaign. The purpose is to make any investigator think twice about perusing Trump. To the Trump supporters, McCabe is just collateral damage.
