In a major turn of events, President Trump denies being told that he faces imminent indictment in the investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. The investigation revolves around Trump’s post-presidential handling of classified documents, and justifications for indictments are said to be coming to light. Trump maintains that he has done nothing wrong and accuses the Justice Department of weaponizing against him.
Recently, John Solomon at Just the News claimed that Trump’s lawyers were informed the former president was a target of the investigation, with potential indictment expected this week. In response to the allegations, Trump told a New York Times reporter that he has not been informed about any such indictment, while also refusing to clarify whether he is a target for one. Even though Trump himself is firm in saying he isn’t aware of any indictment plans, the general consensus among multiple sources indicates a federal grand jury will likely submit charges against him soon.
Furthermore, Trump’s legal team has submitted a complaint alleging that a federal prosecutor tampered with a witness. However, the Justice Department has refused to delay the alleged indictment plans to investigate these claims. Trump has consistently maintained that he has done nothing wrong and that he has been a target of a biased Justice Department for years. According to an American Bar Association report, guidelines do support Trump’s ability to formally declassify information as president.
All signs point to a massive clash between Trump and the Justice Department’s investigation. As matters evolve and new information continues to surface, this case will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for Trump’s post-presidential legacy and the future of politics in America.
