A federal grand jury met Thursday to hear more evidence in the special counsel probe of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and former President Donald Trump’s sweeping effort to overturn the 2020 election.
The panel could hand up an indictment of Trump anytime after the former president was hit Sunday with a letter naming him as a target in the sprawling investigation.
But most legal analysts believe Special Counsel Jack Smith will wait to seek charges in part because he might want to give Trump’s lawyers a chance to ask for a meeting to convince him not to file charges.
