Donald Trump on 60 Minutes (screen capture)
The investigation has examined an array of schemes that Mr. Trump and his allies had used to try to stave off defeat, including the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, riot by his supporters at the Capitol.
The letter was the second Mr. Trump received from the special counsel, Jack Smith, notifying Mr. Trump that he is a target in a federal investigation. The first, in June, was in connection to the inquiry into Mr. Trump’s handling of national defense material after he left office and his alleged obstruction of efforts to retrieve it.
Days after that letter became public, Mr. Trump was charged with 37 criminal counts covering seven different violations of federal law.
Trump announced receipt of the letter on his Truth Social platform wherein he called Mr. Smith “deranged.” He added that he had received the letter on Sunday and has been given 4 days to report to a grand jury. I highly doubt he will show up for that. Read more at the New York Times. This could be Trump’s 3rd indictment following the 34 charges filed by the Manhattan District Attorney regarding hush payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and the 37 charges filed by Smith in connection to Trump’s alleged refusal to turn over classified documents he’d been storing at his Florida home. Trump’s cultists are, of course, having a meltdown – including Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, who days after the deadly January 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol building said on the floor of the House that Trump “bears responsibility.” https://twitter.com/DeanObeidallah/status/1681327534460248064 https://twitter.com/EliseStefanik/status/1681341272198455297 https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1681325351237033985
