Trump Braces for Potential Indictments and Criminal Investigations.

Former President Donald Trump has been notified by federal prosecutors that he is the target of a criminal investigation for concealing classified documents at his private estate and obstructing federal authorities from finding them. The notification is the clearest signal yet that special counsel Jack Smith is on the verge of a charging decision in his probe of the former president. Smith has recently hauled in several figures in Trump’s inner circle before the grand jury investigating the documents case, signaling that his probe is nearing a likely charging decision.
