On Tuesday, Former President Donald Trump made a claim that special counsel Jack Smith would announce charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election at 5 p.m.
“I hear that Deranged Jack Smith, in order to interfere with the Presidential Election of 2024, will be putting out yet another Fake Indictment of your favorite President, me, at 5:00 P.M.,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Why didn’t they do this 2.5 years ago? Why did they wait so long? Because they wanted to put it right in the middle of my campaign. Prosecutorial Misconduct!”
When 5 p.m. came and went without any announcement from the Justice Department or Trump’s attorneys, the 77-year-old former president reiterated his stance in another Truth Social post.
“Also, why are they putting out another Fake Indictment the day after the Crooked Joe Biden SCANDAL, one of the biggest in American history, broke out in the Halls of Congress???” he wrote, an apparent reference to former Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer’s Monday deposition before the House Oversight Committee. “A Nation In Decline!”
This potential indictment would be the second brought by Smith against Trump, who already faces 40 counts related to allegations of hoarding national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
On Tuesday, the grand jury investigating the former president convened for several hours at the federal courthouse in Washington, DC, but adjourned a couple of hours before Trump’s posts about the anticipated indictment.
