Trump Expects 'Arrest And Indictment' Over January 6th
Former President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he expects to be arrested and indicted by special counsel Jack Smith in connection with the January 6th Grand Jury 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 on Truth Social.
President Biden's DOJ have cast a wide net in their investigation into President Trump, Biden's chief rival in the 2024 US election. Trump is expected to travel to Iowa on Tuesday, where he will tape a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Prosecutors in Georgia are conducting a separate investigation into efforts by Trump to reverse his election law in that state, with the top prosecutor in Fulton County signaling that she expects to announce charging decisions in the first several weeks since Sunday. -AP
While the charges Smith is considering are unknown, several lawyers - ranging from the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riot to outsiders writing "model prosecution memos" (per the NYT) have focused on the 'the attempted corrupt obstruction of an official proceeding' under Section 1512(c) of Title 18, and conspiracy to defraud the government under Section 371 of Title 18.
