Caption: Trump Reveals He’s a ‘Target’ of Special Counsel Probe Into 2020 Election. Former President Donald Trump made the revelation via a statement posted on his media platform, Truth Social. The statement was posted on July 18. "Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment."

The target letter is the second that Smith has sent to Trump this year. It indicates that Trump is the focus of an investigation into attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The grand jury investigating interference in the 2020 election also meets on July 18. In his post, Trump framed his efforts to overturn the result in his favor as constitutionally protected rights. "Under the United States Constitution, I have the right to protest an Election that I am fully convinced was Rigged and Stolen,...", Donald Trump, Truth Social Post, via CNN. "... just as Democrats have done against me in 2016, and many others have done over the ages.", Donald Trump, Truth Social Post, via CNN.
