The Special Counsel Jack Smith target letter to Donald Trump names three federal statutes under which the former president is expected to be charged.
Sources told Rolling Stone that the three federal statutes are conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States; deprivation of rights under color of law; and tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.
Trump was the only person named in the letter and it did not mention statutes on sedition or insurrection.
Trump said on Tuesday that he was notified that he is a target in Special Counsel Smith’s Jan. 6 investigation.
“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 wrote in a statement on Tuesday.
Smith already secured an indictment on 37 counts relating to Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and obstruction of Justice in the documents probe.
