January 6 probe: Trump says he expects indictment after target letter

[Social Media]

 

Donald Trump has said he expects to be arrested by a federal inquiry into the US Capitol riot and efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.

The ex-president said in a social media post he had been informed by special counsel Jack Smith on Sunday night that he was a target of their investigation.

Mr Trump posted that he was told to report to a grand jury, "which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment".

The special counsel did not immediately respond to media inquiries.

Such an indictment would be Mr Trump's third for alleged criminal offences, including 37 counts brought by Mr Smith's team in June accusing the president of mishandling classified documents.

Mr Trump has also been charged in New York City with falsifying business records in 2016 hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

 

He is due to stand trial in that case next March, while a date for the classified documents case is still being contested by the president's lawyers.

 

• Michigan charges 16 in fake elector scheme
• What charges might Trump face in January 6 probe?

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump claimed that he had been sent a letter "stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment."

Sound of Silence is refreshing. Half his supporters have had it and want him passed over.

The other half are just lost for words defending him.

Still crickets over on this thread poor Donnie (not) but they somehow still find the time to attack the only surviving son of a president that actually does something for the country.Just beggars belief the once proud Republican Party has sunk so low

Well as MTG said:

“When evidence and proof of a crime is presented, no prosecution should be denied no matter who the person is.” ????
