Former President Trump says he has been notified that he is a target of the federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Former President Trump said Tuesday that federal prosecutors have told his legal team that he is a target of their investigation into efforts by him and his allies to overturn the 2020 election and keep him in power.
A spokesman for Smith declined to comment. The special counsel normally does not comment before charges are brought. Smith’s team has scrutinized fundraising off Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud after the election and around the Jan. 6 rallies, along with the coordinated effort to enlist fake electors in states Biden won to send certificates to the librarian of Congress falsely stating that Trump had won.
John Eastman, the Trump-allied California lawyer who wrote a memo arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence could overturn Biden’s 2020 election win on Jan. 6, has not received a target letter, according to his attorney Charles Burnham.
