New York/Washington (EFE).- Former US President Donald Trump (2017-2021) announced on Tuesday that he had received a letter from special prosecutor Jack Smith informing him that he is “under investigation” for the assault to the capitol on January 6, 2021.
In his Truth Social network, Trump wrote that Smith gives him four days to testify before the Grand Jury charged with deciding whether there is an indictment. “And that almost always implies arrest and prosecution,” adds the former president.
Trump accused the special counsel of acting on the orders of the state attorney general, Merrick Gardland, and the latter of doing so on the orders of President Joe Biden, his “number one political rival.”
“The witch hunt”, a theory used by Trump
The former president, who claimed to have received the communication from Smith last Sunday night when he was with his family, considered that this is part of the “witch hunt” that he is being subjected to by the government of the Democratic president.
A “hunt” that, according to Trump, occurs because he is the favorite to win the Republican primaries for the 2024 presidential elections.
“I am going to be the Republican candidate and I am ahead of Biden, that is why I received this horrible news,” the former president said in his statement, who says that he has already been charged three times, because he already takes the charge for granted in the case of the assault on the Capitol, which would add to the Stormy Daniels case and the investigation into classified documents that he took from the White House.
Of all these accusations, and of the one that he already predicts he will have for the Georgia investigation into the attempt to reverse the electoral results of the 2020 presidential elections in that state, Trump accuses the Department of Justice of the Biden Government of acting for political reasons. .
