Analysis: Target letter sent to Donald Trump may signal another criminal indictment may be close, writes Washington Correspondent Martin Wall
The investigation by special counsel Jack Smith into the events that led up to the riot by Trump’s supporters at the Capitol would appear to have a number of elements.
This involved claims that there were Republican “fake electors” who purported to set out that Trump and not Joe Biden had actually won the election. There was also a campaign to pressure then vice-president Mike Pence to reject electoral college votes for Biden when it came to certifying the final result.It is unclear as to whether anyone else, other than Trump, has received a target letter warning that they are under investigation.
Trump’s fundraising committee said it raised $4 million in the 24 hours after he was indicted in late March by New York prosecutors and $6.6 million in the days after his indictment in June by the special counsel over the classified documents.
