A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., reportedly has approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, CNN said Friday evening. 

According to the network, the charges are sealed under order from a federal judge. It remains unclear who has been indicted and on what charges. 

The person or persons indicted could be taken into custody as soon as Monday, CNN said. 

Federal officials have not yet validated the CNN report and a spokesman for Mueller declined to comment to Reuters.

However, if confirmed, it would mark a major development in the special counsel’s probe. “If anybody thinks the Mueller investigation is going to be wrapping up, this decision guarantees it will go well into 2018,” CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said.
