Trump Faces Criminal Charges in Election Probe: Endgame Move or Indictment?

Special counsel Jack Smith's target letter to former President Donald Trump's lawyers mentions three federal criminal statutes, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, witness tampering, and deprivation of rights under color of law. Smith is investigating Trump and his allies for their efforts to reverse his loss in the 2020 election. Trump claims the probe is politically motivated to harm his chances in the 2024 presidential election. Meanwhile, Smith's prosecutors have subpoenaed surveillance video footage from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, which was previously used by Trump's campaign lawyers to argue election fraud in Georgia.
