Federal prosecutors have written to former President Donald Trump that he is the target of a criminal investigation. This was reported by the American news site Politico on the basis of a source familiar with the case.
The notice is the clearest sign, according to Politico, that Special Counsel Jack Smith is about to press charges in his investigation into the former president. This revolves around hiding piles of sensitive information about Trump’s private property and creating a plan to prevent federal authorities from finding this information.
A spokesman for Smith declined to comment and Trump’s lawyers could not be reached, according to Reuters.
13,000 government documents
Investigators seized 13,000 government documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida last August. About a hundred of them were stamped secret. Trump has previously said he dropped that classification when he was president, but he hasn’t provided evidence.
