Former President Donald Trump has received a target letter from Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Jan. 6 investigation.
The letter is a sign that Trump is likely to be indicted.
The Washington Times reports:
Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith declaring him a target of a grand jury investigation into events leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Mr. Trump said in a post on his Truth Social webpage that his attorneys notified him Sunday of the letter. He said it gave him four days to “report to the grand jury,” which he interpreted as a prelude to an indictment and arrest.
The ex-president fumed against Mr. Smith and said the specter of a criminal indictment amounts to election interference, pointing to his wide lead in early 2024 polling.
The ramifications of the document reported by Mr. Trump were not immediately clear, though target letters typically suggest prosecutors have gathered evidence linking a person to a crime and include instructions on next steps.
