Another Indictment? Trump Targeted in Jan. 6 Criminal Probe, Releases Statement on TRUTH

Trump is a target of the Jan. 6 criminal probe.

Former President Donald Trump shared an official campaign statement on TRUTH Social on Tuesday revealing that Special Counsel Jack Smith has informed him he is a target in the Jan. 6 criminal probe.

From ABC News:

The letter, which sources said was transmitted to Trump’s attorneys in recent days, indicates that yet another indictment of the former president could be imminent — though it is not immediately clear what kind of charges he could ultimately face.

Trump similarly received a target letter from Smith before he was indicted by a grand jury in Florida for his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House and his alleged efforts to obstruct the government’s investigation.

Smith took control of the sprawling Justice Department investigation into the failed efforts by Trump and his allies to thwart his election loss upon his appointment as special counsel in November of last year, and in recent months dozens of witnesses have appeared to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C.
