said in a post on Truth Social<\/a> he received the \u201ctarget letter\u201d Sunday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cDeranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attorney Merrick Garland previously said he planned to pursue anyone who “unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power” but had yet to bring any formal charges against the former president. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, Prosecutors have called a number of Trump allies before the grand jury, including Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner and former aide Hope Hicks. Prosecutors reportedly asked questions about whether the former president was aware he had lost the election, as demonstrating intent is key for some charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s unclear what specific charges Trump could face if prosecutors decide to move ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An indictment would mark the third time this year Trump has been charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
