Trump Targeted in Multiple Criminal Probes by DOJ

Former President Donald Trump has been informed by his lawyers that he is a target of the federal criminal investigation into possible mishandling of classified information after he left office. Special counsel Jack Smith presented evidence to a grand jury in Miami, Florida, and heard testimony from a former Trump aide and spokesperson. The investigation stems from efforts by the National Archives to recover White House records missing from the federal government's possession. Trump's attorneys met with Justice Department officials to discuss their concerns about conduct during the investigation. Trump has denied wrongdoing and characterized the investigation as politically motivated.
