Update: Trump Denies Report DOJ Told Him He’d Be Indicted In Classified Document Probe

Update (3:04pm CST): Former President Donald Trump has pushed back against reports that the Justice Department notified him of an imminent indictment in its classified documents probe.

“No one has told me I’m being indicted, and I shouldn’t be because I’ve done NOTHING wrong, but I have assumed for years that I am a Target of the WEAPONIZED DOJ & FBI, starting with the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX, the “No Collusion” Mueller Report, Impeachment HOAX #1, Impeachment HOAX #2, the PERFECT Ukraine phone call, and various other SCAMS & WITCH HUNTS. A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE & ELECTION INTERFERENCE AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE. REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS MUST MAKE THIS THEIR # 1 ISSUE!!!” Trump wrote Wednesday on Truth Social.

Original story below:

Justice Department prosecutors notified former President Donald Trump that he is a criminal target and will likely face imminent indictment in the classified documents probe, according to reports on Wednesday

Just The News reported that the DOJ told Trump he will likely as early as this week face charges of gathering, transmitting or losing national defense docs after taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago upon leaving office in Jan. 2021.

From Just The News:

The sources directly familiar with the case told Just the News that DOJ declined to delay the planned indictment of Trump to investigate allegations that a senior prosecutor working on the case tried to influence a key witness by discussing a federal judgeship with the witness’ lawyer.

That allegation is still pending in a secret case before Chief U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, the jurist who oversees the federal court in Washington, D.C., and the grand juries that convene in that courthouse, the sources said.

An historic federal indictment crafted by Special Counsel Jack Smith could be handed up by a federal grand jury against the 45th president as early as this week, the sources said.

The former president responded to emerging reports of an imminent indictment Monday on Truth Social, calling the ongoing persecution against him by Deep State bureaucrats the “greatest witch hunt of all time.”

HOW CAN DOJ POSSIBLY CHARGE ME, WHO DID NOTHING WRONG, WHEN NO OTHER PRESIDENT’S WERE CHARGED, WHEN JOE BIDEN WON’T BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT HE HAS 1,850 BOXES, MUCH OF IT CLASSIFIED, AND SOME DATING BACK TO HIS SENATE DAY WHEN EVEN DEMOCRAT SENATORS ARE SHOCKED. ALSO, PRESIDENT CLINTON HAD DOCUMENTS, AND WON IN COURT. CROOKED HILLARY DELETED 33,000 EMAILS, MANY CLASSIFIED, AND WASN’T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CHARGED! ONLY TRUMP – THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!

Lawyer Mike Davis predicted on Monday that Trump will be indicted for obstruction of justice based on the FBI’s determination to distract from Joe Biden’s bribery crimes being uncovered by House Republicans.

That report is corroborated by Just The News, which laid out the prosecution’s legal rationale.

Smith’s prosecutorial team informed Trump’s legal team in recent days that the charges against the former president could include a violation of 18 U.S. Code Chapter 37 Section 793 that outlaws the “gathering, transmitting or losing” of national defense information. Other charges being considered involve alleged false statements and obstruction of justice, all claims the president and his team have robustly contested in public and in private.

A 2021 letter signed by President Trump reveals he declassified documents he brought with him to Mar-a-Lago.

Kinds hard to prosecute a former President for classified documents that he not only officially declassified, but that also have a presumption of declassification under the PRA

If verified, that means Trump is about to be indicted by DOJ special counsel Jack Smith for non-crimes.

Trump was already indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in April on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

But Trump’s polling surged in the days following the indictment, suggesting the public believes Bragg’s charges against Trump were politically motivated.

Perhaps this indictment will have a similar effect.
