TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has claimed that he received a "target letter" from special counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 grand jury, indicating that he expects to be indicted. The letter offers Trump the opportunity to speak to the grand jury, but it is uncommon for targets of criminal investigations to do so. The investigation is focused on potential obstruction charges related to Trump's actions leading up to and on Jan. 6, including pressuring Vice President Mike Pence and promoting false claims about the election. Trump is also facing other criminal charges and investigations, including in Manhattan and Fulton County, Georgia.
