“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,” Trump wrote.
He said that the anticipated indictment is political and claimed to be “Joe Biden’s NUMBER ONE POLITICAL OPPONENT, who is largely dominating him in the race for the Presidency.”
“Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before, or even close,” Trump wrote, adding, “It is a very sad and dark period for our nation.”
According to the unidentified sources cited by the New York Times, Trump is likely to decline to testify before the grand jury.
The former president may be charged for the third time.
He was accused of misclassifying payments made during the 2016 presidential election in April in New York City.
Former President Trump was charged federally in June for improper handling of sensitive materials. These accusations are the result of a careful investigation under the direction of special prosecutor Jack Smith. The papers were found during a search of Florida’s Mar-a-Lago home owned by Donald Trump.
Following the release of a fresh indictment report, the Biden administration is under fire and there are demands for Trump to drop out of the race.

According to NBC News, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia termed the possibility of an indictment against the former president in connection with the Capitol raid “absolute bulls***.”
“Yeah, that’s my reaction. This is the only way that the Democrats have to beat President Trump is to arrest him, smear him, charge him with ridiculous charges,” Indicting Trump, she claimed, was an attempt to cover up “Joe Biden’s crimes” and “Hunter Biden’s crimes.”
According to ABC News, the letter Trump received is a significant warning that an indictment may be forthcoming.
A inquiry is presently focusing on efforts to submit alternate elector slates in response to Trump’s allegations of rampant fraud in the 2020 presidential election, according to unidentified sources quoted by the publication.
In November 2022, Smith assumed the role of special counsel.
According to a DOJ news release, Smith was also tasked with looking into “whether any person or entity unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021,” in addition to his investigation into classified documents.
