A federal investigation into alleged actions by former President Trump and his allies is continuing with subpoenas, despite the recent departure of its lead prosecutor who had not secured any indictments, casting doubt on the probe's future.
Rochester, NY, September 21, 2026 — The federal investigation examining alleged actions by former President Donald Trump and his associates remains active, proceeding with the issuance of subpoenas. However, the recent departure of the investigation’s lead prosecutor has introduced uncertainty regarding its future trajectory.
Sources indicate that the probe has continued to utilize subpoenas to gather information, suggesting that investigative efforts are ongoing. Despite this continued activity, the lead prosecutor overseeing the investigation recently left their position. According to available information, this prosecutor did not secure any indictments during their tenure on the case.
