Donald Trump said that he received a letter from Special Counsel Jack Smith stating that he is a target of a grand jury’s January 6th investigation, in what the former president said was a pr…
Smith already has indicted Trump on a series of charges relating to the former president’s withholding of classified documents after he left the White House. But he also is said to have been investigating Trump’s efforts to remain in the White House after the 2020 presidential election, including a plan to block the counting of electoral votes on January 6th and to put forth a slate of his own electors.
If Trump is indicted, it would be the third set of criminal charges he faces as he runs for the GOP’s 2024 nomination. He was indicted last spring on New York state charges related to hush money payments made to former porn star Stormy Daniels, and later in Florida on federal charges related to the top secret documents he held after he left the presidency.
So far, Trump’s standing in the polls does not appear to have suffered, as he still has a wide lead in national surveys and in states like New Hampshire. In his Truth Social message, Trump again bashed Smith as “deranged” and accused law enforcement of “political weaponization.”
