Several contenders in the 2024 Republican presidential race are sharing their thoughts after one of their competitors, former President Donald Trump, indicated he may be indicted over the breach at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Mr. Trump published a press statement on Tuesday, revealing he received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith on Sunday night that informed him he is the target of an investigation into the breach of the U.S. Capitol and giving him four days to report to a grand jury. He said this short timeline to comply “almost always means an Arrest and Indictment” is coming. The former president decried the development as a “WITCH HUNT,” an act of “ELECTION INTERFERENCE,” and a “COMPLETE AND TOTAL POLITICAL WEAPONIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT” by President Joe Biden’s administration against the leading Republican presidential candidate.
