The ex-president Donald Trump claims to have received a letter from the US Department of Justice informing him of the interest in his person in the federal prosecution, which is investigating the attempts to subvert the 2020 electionaccording to a publication by Trump himself on the Truth social network, which he owns.
In 2020, the millionaire and his team, after learning of their electoral defeat against Joe Biden, undertook a series of efforts to try to prevent the transfer of power. Among other things, Trump and his entourage disseminated accusations of fictitious voter fraud (some based on an alleged doctored vote-by-mail), pressured US officials not to certify the results of the elections, and tried to falsify the results in several states by presenting electoral college votes ascribed to false voters.
The letter that Trump claims to have received could be the sign that the investigation led by special counsel Jack Smith is preparing to file charges. In the United States, it is common for these types of communications to occur when the prosecution has sufficient evidence to link the recipient to the facts.
For Trump, receiving the letter from Smith’s team has felt regular. Nothing like this has ever happened in our country., wrote the millionaire in Truth. Despite this, he defended from a campaign stop in Iowa that Americans fully understand what is happening. It is electoral interference. It is using Justice as a weapon.
Beyond the high-sounding of his statements, neither Trump nor the Department of Justice have anticipated what the charges the millionaire could face could be. According to the US media, they could include obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the Government and witness tampering. To these charges, referring to actions directly aimed at subverting the 2020 electoral process, will be added that of fraud, linked to Trump’s attempts to finance his efforts to stay in power with the money of his followers.
