First up, Rolling Stone has more detail from a confidential source on the charges for which Trump may soon be indicted by the DC grand jury that’s looking into the failed January 6 coup:
THE SPECIAL COUNSEL’S letter to Donald Trump related to Jan. 6 listed the federal statutes under which Trump is expected to be charged, including conspiracy, obstruction, and civil rights violations, according to a source with knowledge of the contents of the target letter.
Special counsel Jack Smith sent the letter to Trump on Sunday, informing him he was a target of the Justice Department. Trump on Tuesday announced he’d been sent the letter via a post on the social media platform Truth Social.
The letter mentions three federal statutes: Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States; deprivation of rights under color of law; and tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant. It does not offer further details, nor does it detail how the special counsel believes Trump may have violated the statutes, the source tells Rolling Stone.
I have a theory about why Trump waited until Tuesday to rant insanely about receiving the target letter: He wanted to step on DeMeatball’s MSM debut — an interview with Jake Tapper that aired on CNN yesterday at 4 PM. Mission accomplished!
