Trump announced on Truth Social Tuesday morning that he expects to be arrested imminently after receiving ‘horrifying news’ that he’s a ‘target’ in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 probe.
A target letter means investigators have gathered enough evidence linking the recipient to a crime, which indicates that an indictment is imminent.
‘Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) 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,’ the former president wrote.
The indictment comes after a long investigation into Trump’s attempt to overturn the election and the incitement of a riot on Jan 6. While we don’t know what certain individuals testified to under oath, the Special Counsel obviously feels they have enough evidence to bring charges against the former President.
In case anyone’s counting, this makes Trump’s third indictment.
