18 July 2023
Donald Trump has announced he has been informed he is a “target” of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, including the events surrounding the January 6 insurrection.
ABC News, citing sources, confirms Smith has informed Trump’s attorneys he is a target.
In a lengthy and angry statement on his Truth Social account Trump wrote: “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.”
