Justice Department Sends Trump Target Letter
Subpoenaed Witness Receives Written Notification of Potential Prosecution
Categories Outlined in Official Correspondence
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has sent a target letter to former President Donald Trump, informing him that he may be prosecuted for his involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot. The letter, which was sent on Tuesday morning, outlines several categories of potential charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of an official proceeding, and inciting an insurrection.
According to the law of the United States, a target letter is an official piece of correspondence from the Justice Department informing someone that they may be prosecuted. It is different from a subpoena, which is a court order requiring someone to testify or produce evidence. A target letter is sent to individuals who are believed to have committed a crime, but it does not mean that they have been charged with a crime.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has vowed to fight the charges. He has said that the target letter is politically motivated and that he is being targeted because he is a Republican. However, the Justice Department has maintained that the investigation is ongoing and that no one is above the law.
The target letter is a significant development in the Justice Department's investigation of the January 6th Capitol riot. It is the first time that the department has formally notified Trump that he may be prosecuted. The investigation is ongoing, and it is possible that more charges could be filed in the future.
