REPORT: Trump Alerted By Federal Prosecutors That He Is The ‘Target’ Of A Criminal Investigation

Former President Donald Trump has been alerted by federal prosecutors that he is the target of an ongoing criminal investigation, according to a report Wednesday.

Trump has been at the center of an investigation led by special counsel Jack Smith after the former president allegedly concealed classified documents and attempted to prevent federal authorities from obtaining them. The FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last August, looking for the classified documents after he reportedly ignored a subpoena to return them. 

According to a new report, the Justice Department informed the former president’s attorneys days ago that he is the target of a criminal investigation, signaling that Special Counsel Jack Smith is close to a charging decision.
