Trump is a Criminal Target—Again.
After a weekend vowing to prosecute his enemies, Trump announced that he is the target of federal prosecutors investigating the January 6 Insurrection.
Trump and his GOP enablers are failing to intimidate federal and state prosecutors with threats of vengeance and retribution. Trump has already been indicted by two separate grand juries and is likely to be indicted in two additional courts for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Trump's target letter is further proof that prosecutors have the evidence to indict Trump in federal court, and the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously rejected Trump's attempt to block prosecution by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
