Investigations: New momentum in possible Trump indictment

Former US President Donald Trump fears another indictment. But first, the grand jury wants to question an important witness again.

According to media reports, the jury responsible for deciding whether to indict the former US President Donald Trump again wants to hear a witness again.

This is the witness William Russel, who worked under Trump in the White House and continues to work for the Republican, reported the broadcasters CNN and NBC News. He should give information before a federal court in Washington. Russel had already been questioned by the grand jury in the course of the investigation into the storming of the seat of the US Parliament on January 6, 2021.

Will Trump appear for the indictment?

Trump announced on Tuesday that he had been informed by letter on Sunday that he was the target of investigations. The 77-year-old, who plans to run again in the presidential election next year, made it clear that he expects to be arrested and charged.

He was given four days to report to the jury. However, he has no intention of using this opportunity, the media reported, citing Trump’s lawyers. It’s unclear exactly when the grand jury will decide on an indictment.

Camera teams positioned themselves in front of the courthouse in the US capital. Should there be an indictment, the reading of the indictment would take place there. Trump would also have to appear for this. The courthouse is a good 500 meters as the crow flies from the US Capitol – the scene of the unprecedented attack a year and a half ago. The imposing domed building can be seen well from there.
