The Department of Justice has issued a subpoena for records related to the travel history of Fani T. Willis, the Georgia district attorney who charged President Trump in a sweeping election interference case, according to a federal grand jury subpoena reviewed by The New York Times.
The scope of the investigation is not yet clear. Also unclear is whether Ms. Willis is the target of the inquiry and whether she will ultimately face charges. Grand jury proceedings are secretive by law.
But the document reviewed by The Times is an indication that the Justice Department under President Trump may be investigating another one of his old foes. On Thursday, the department indicted James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, over the objection of career prosecutors who found insufficient evidence to support the charges.
Days earlier, Mr. Trump criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi for not moving more aggressively to prosecute Mr. Comey, as well as Letitia James, New York’s attorney general, and Senator Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California.
In Georgia, federal investigators are seeking records related to travel they believe Ms. Willis took abroad around the time of last year’s election, but it was not immediately clear why. The inquiry is being led by the office of Theodore S. Hertzberg, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.
Jeff DiSantis, a spokesman for Ms. Willis, said Friday that “we have no comment beyond the fact we have no knowledge of any investigation.”
