Trump announced on Truth Social that he received a “target letter” from special counsel Jack Smith’s office on Sunday night. The letter offered him the opportunity to appear before the grand jury this week. This development indicates that another indictment could be on the way, although the charges are not specified.
Trump wrote on the social media platform, “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 is currently facing three indictments. He is under indictment in Manhattan in connection with alleged “hush money” payments to Stormy Daniels. He is also facing charges in Florida, where Smith’s office accuses him of mishandling sensitive documents. Finally, he is under criminal investigation in Georgia state prosecutor for his alleged attempt to overturn Biden’s narrow Peach State victory in 2020.
A hearing in the classified documents criminal case is scheduled for Tuesday before Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon. Trump’s lawyers have moved to delay the case until after the 2024 election, while Smith’s team is seeking to proceed.
Despite the mounting legal troubles, Trump leads a large Republican primary field vying for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. A Morning Consult poll published Tuesday has Trump at 55%, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 20%, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy at 8%, and Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, at 7%.
The legal troubles of President Trump are continuing to mount, and it remains to be seen what the future holds for him. He is facing multiple criminal charges and investigations. Despite this, he remains the most popular figure in the Republican Party and is leading the race for the 2024 GOP Presidential Nomination.
