Trump says indictment on Jan. 6 charges could come ‘any day now’
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump said Monday he assumes he will be indicted “any day now,” as the grand jury investigating his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election wraps up its work in Washington.
In a social media post, he protested that the investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021, was an attempt to interfere with the 2024 election as he solidifies his wide polling lead for the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump said earlier this month that he had received a target letter in the probe, inviting him to testify before the grand jury and signaling that an indictment is likely. The grand jury meets twice a week, and an indictment could come as soon as the Tuesday session.
It’s unclear what charges Trump may face. Special counsel Jack Smith is investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol as Congress was meeting to certify the results of the 2020 election — which followed a speech by Trump just outside the White House grounds where he urged supporters to “fight like hell” and to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
