The former president of USA, donald trump, involved in multiple judicial investigations, said today that he received a letter from the prosecutor’s office suggesting that he will be criminally charged in a new case. In this case, he will be for the attacks on the capitol by his supporters on January 6, 2021, in the last days of his presidency.
“The upset Jack Smith, prosecutor of the Justice Department of (US President) Joe Biden, sent a letter (…) that claims that I am a TARGET of the Grand Jury investigation into January 6“Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
Trump increasingly complicated after a new complaint
The new complaint against Trump comes from the violent attack by his supporters on the Capitol in Washington days before Joe Biden arrives at the White House. More than 1,000 people were detained and 350 were accused of assaulting the police.
The former president said he was given “a very short period of four days” to appear before a grand jury, “which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment“, but the Washington Post claims that’s not systematic.
“This witch hunt has to do with electoral interference and a complete and total use of law enforcement as a political weapon,” denounced the 77-year-old magnate.
Trump argued that have the “right to protest” because he is “fully convinced” that the elections “were rigged and stolen.”
A parliamentary commission made up mainly of Democrats, destined to investigate these facts, affirmed that the former president had incentivized his supporters before the attack and “failed in his duty as commander in chief” during the violent acts.
In its final report, published in December 2022, the commission concluded that donald trump should not hold public office again after inciting his supporters to insurrection. They also recommended that federal justice initiate criminal proceedings against him, in particular for incitement to insurrection. In any case, it is not yet known what are the possible charges for which he will be charged on this occasion.
