Trump grand jury investigations overseen by new chief judge in D.C.
TL;DR
Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell, who oversaw grand jury investigations involving former President Donald Trump and his allies, has passed the gavel to her successor, James E. Boasberg. Boasberg will now decide how far special counsel Jack Smith can go in investigating or questioning the former president. The federal courthouse in D.C. has been buzzing with secret and not-so-secret proceedings over whether White House aides or Trump lawyers can be similarly made to testify, and whether records of a member of Congress can be used by the Justice Department.
