Donald Trump is widely expected to be indicted for a third time this year after receiving a letter from Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith warning him that he is under investigation by a grand jury over his role in inciting the US Capitol riot of 6 January 2021.
This comes after he has already been indicted twice this year – first in New York over the alleged misrepresentation of business records to conceal hush money payments he is accused of making to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign and second over his alleged mishandling of classified documents since leaving the White House, the latter case seeing him become the first former president in American history to be arrested on federal criminal charges.
