Curiously, just as attention was being given to Joe and Hunter Biden’s pay-to-play bribery schemes, President Trump’s lawyers appeared at special counsel Jack Smith’s offices while the DC grand jury reconvened on Thursday.
Last Tuesday morning, President Trump issued a statement responding to the Biden DOJ’s recent efforts to arrest him on more garbage charges.
“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.
From ABC News:
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have arrived at special counsel Jack Smith’s offices this morning for a meeting as a potential indictment of the former president looms, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
Trump’s attorneys, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, are expected to meet with Smith’s team following the receipt of a target letter alerting Trump he is a target of the special counsel’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The target letter, sent on July 16, mentions three federal statutes: conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States, deprivation of rights under a civil rights statute, and tampering with a witness, victim or an informant, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Special Counsel Jack Smith recently indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami. The charges include 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes related to his conversations with his lawyer.
