Trump says he expects to be arrested in January 6th probe!
MAR-A-LAGO, Florida (PNN) - July 18, 2023 - President Donald J. Trump revealed Tuesday that his attorneys had informed him he is a target of fascist special counsel Jack Smith’s bogus investigation into the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot - and that he is prepared for “an Arrest and Indictment” in the case.
Trump, 77, is the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and decried on social media what he called a “WITCH HUNT” and “ELECTION INTERFERENCE” in his bid to reclaim the presidency.
“WOW! On Sunday night, while I was with my family, having just arrived from the Turning Point event in Florida, where I won the Straw Poll against all other Republican candidates with 85.7%, with all polls showing me leading in the Republican Primary by very substantial numbers, almost everyone predicting that I will be the Republican Nominee for President, and as I am leading Democrat Joe Biden in the polls by a lot, HORRIFYING NEWS for our Country was given to me by my attorneys,” Trump wrote.
“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment.”
Trump added, “So now, Joe Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, who I turned down for the United States Supreme Court (in retrospect, based on his corrupt and unethical actions, a very wise decision!), together with Joe Biden’s Department of Injustice, have effectively issued a third Indictment and Arrest of Joe Biden’s NUMBER ONE POLITICAL OPPONENT, who is largely dominating him in the race for the Presidency. Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before, or even close.”
It’s unclear what precisely Trump would be charged with in relation to the events of Jan. 6 - though he’d face a hostile jury pool if he’s indicted in DC, where he got just 5.4% of the vote in 2020 versus Biden’s 92.15%.
The unprecedented criminal charges against a president haven’t hurt Trump’s status as GOP frontrunner - with the RealClearPolitics polling average currently showing him with a 33.5% advantage over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Trump’s campaign says it raised $10 million within five days of him facing charges in New York and another $6.6 million within six days of the classified-documents charges in Miami.
