Prosecutors Inform Trump He’s Target of Criminal Probe: Reports

Donald Trump has been informed by federal prosecutors that he is currently the target of a criminal investigation into alleged mishandling of classified documents—a sign that he may soon be indicted, reports said Wednesday. The news was first shared by the journalist John Solomon—who has earned a reputation as a staunch ally of Trump’s. Politico and CNN later confirmed the news, citing sources familiar with the matter. But Trump himself threw cold water on the rumors Wednesday afternoon, claiming “it’s not true” in a conversation with The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman. “Trump tells me minutes ago he has NOT been told he’s getting indicted, when contacted,” Haberman tweeted. The former president followed up with a muddled statement posted to Truth Social. “No one has told me I’m being indicted, and I shouldn’t be because I’ve done NOTHING wrong,” he said, calling this and past investigations “SCAMS & WITCH HUNTS.” He issued a call-to-action to his fellow Republicans lawmakers to act on this “TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE & ELECTION INTERFERENCE. REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS MUST MAKE THIS THEIR # 1 ISSUE!!!” he added.
