The newspaper, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter, reported that the grand jury had begun its work in the US capital Washington "in recent weeks." The establishment of a grand jury will allow Mueller -- a former FBI director -- to subpoena documents and get sworn testimony. Presidential lawyer Ty Cobb said he was not aware that a grand jury had been convened. "Grand jury matters are typically secret," Cobb said, adding that "the White House favors anything that accelerates the conclusion of his work fairly." If called to testify before a grand jury, Trump would not be the first president to do so.
