Former President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he had received a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith, implying that he could face criminal charges in connection to an investigation into the deadly Capitol riot and attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Trump's latest run-in with federal prosecutors likely signals an impending indictment, which would be the third he has faced in recent months. Much of the probe has focused on Trump and his allies' efforts to stir sentiment amongst fervent MAGA supporters by publicly and falsely claiming that President Joe Biden had "stolen" the election, actions which catalyzed the frenzy leading to the Jan 6 siege in Washington, DC.
