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 Presidentย Donald Trumpย said Tuesday he has received a letter from special counselย Jack Smithย declaring him a target of a grand jury investigation into events leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Mr.ย Trumpย said in aย postย on his Truth Social webpage that his attorneys notified him Sunday of the letter. He said it gave him four days to โreport to the grand jury,โ which he interpreted as a prelude to an indictment and arrest.
The ex-president fumed against Mr.ย Smithย 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.ย Trumpย 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.
