Trump has received a second target letter from the special counsel, a sign he could be indicted again. The ex-president indicated that he received a letter from the Justice Dept. saying that he is a target in the investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, further ensnaring him in unprecedented legal peril.
Trump has said that he had received a letter from Smith on Sunday indicating he is a criminal target, a sign he may be soon charged by the special counsel. Republicans, particularly in the House, were quick to downplay Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and vowed to use every tool at their disposal to fight back against any potential charges – a familiar playbook for the GOP, which launched a multi-pronged attack on Smith after Trump was indicted in the classified documents case, and rallied behind Trump in the wake of the Manhattan district attorney indictment.
