As if life couldn’t get any worse for the corrupt, scandal-ridden ex-president, a bombshell new report from the New York Times has now revealed that, as of yesterday afternoon, phones belonging to at least two of Donald Trump’s top advisors have been seized by the FBI, and approximately 40 or more subpoenas have been filed by the Department of Justice in connection to the investigation into the Trump 2020 fake elector scheme, meant to keep Donald Trump illegitimately in power after his election loss to Joe Biden.

According to the explosive new report, per sources who spoke with the Times, at least two of Donald Trump’s most key top advisors had their phones seized by FBI agents in connection to the DOJ investigation into the fake elector scam. One of which was Russian-American Republican political strategist, Boris Epshteyn, who served as a top strategic adviser on Donald’s 2020 presidential campaign, and the other being Mike Roman, an opposition researcher who worked under the ex-president in 2017 and 2018. Following his 2017/18 work with Donald Trump, Ronan went on to work on the now ex-president’s 2020 campaign, where he went down in history as the individual who personally passed on the envelope full of the names of fake electors that was to be given to then-Vice President Mike Pence.

The Times has described this bombshell development as a clear-cut indication that the Biden Justice Department is steamrolling full speed ahead with their investigation into the Trump fake elector scheme, after several months of what appeared to be slow to no movement in the case that earned the DOJ quite a bit of public backlash from the American people.

Among those to find themselves on the receiving end of the 40-some-odd subpoenas handed down by the Department of Justice were former Trump social media director Dan Scavino and former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who worked directly on a team with now-former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani on the so-called “War Room” that Trump and his allies infamously constructed at the Willard Hotel in relation to and on January 6th.

According to the report, some of the information being sought by the DOJ subpoenas is in relation to activities conducted by Donald Trump’s “Save America” PAC, which has served as the main source of funding for the scandal-ridden ex-president since departing the White House. Recent reporting revealed that the Trump PAC has become the focus of a Grand Jury investigation related to January 6th.
