Trump thinks he could be arrested in connection with the storming of the Capitol

Former US President Donald Trump said that the US Department of Justice sent him a notice that he was a suspect in the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. This means that he will be arrested and charged in this case.

“DOJ Attorney Jack Smith sent a letter stating that I was a suspect in the January 6 case, giving me four days to notify the grand jury [о получении письма]which always means arrest and charges,” Trump said in the post.

Trump recalled that this is the third criminal case against him.

“This non-witch hunt is associated with interference in elections and the absolute transformation of law enforcement agencies into a political weapon,” the ex-president believes.

He suggested that such a move by the Ministry of Justice is associated with its repeated accusations against Democrats of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“This is a very sad and dark period for our country,” Trump said.

A grand jury in the American legal system approves charges brought by prosecutors. Trump has the formal opportunity to convince the jury to dismiss all charges against him before a grand jury, but in practice this procedure only precedes the filing of charges. It is likely that Trump will refuse to meet with a grand jury, taking advantage of the fifth amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits compelled testimony against himself.

Trump is also on trial for mishandling of classified information. hzikhidtidekrt documents.

His third criminal case is connected with pornographic actress Stormy Daniels. She was allegedly paid a large sum to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump.
