Sources reveal Trump is target of special counsel investigation over classified docs.

Former President Donald Trump has been informed by special counsel Jack Smith's office that he is the target of an ongoing investigation related to his handling of classified information while out of office. Trump denies any wrongdoing and argues that he is being singled out by enemies. The point of a target letter is to put the subject on notice that they are facing the prospect of indictment. Trump's lawyers have requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland amid fears that the coming weeks could bring a possible indictment regarding Trump's alleged efforts to retain materials after leaving office and obstruct the government's attempts to retrieve them.
