#Trump says he has been indicted in #classified documents #probe
#WASHINGTON: #DonaldTrump said on Thursday (Jun 8) he has been #indicted over his handling of #classified #documents after leaving office, the former #US president’s most serious #legal #threat yet as a firestorm of #criminal #investigations imperil his bid for a second #WhiteHouse term
“The corrupt #Biden #Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the #BoxesHoax ,” Trump wrote on his platform Truth #Social as he broke what would be bombshell news of a historic moment for the United States: The first time a sitting or former commander-in-chief has ever faced federal charges.
There was no immediate confirmation from the Justice Department regarding Trump’s assertion, although some US media outlets including The New York Times cited sources saying that Trump has indeed been indicted.
In his post, Trump, who is running for president again, said he has been summoned to a federal courthouse on Tuesday in Miami.
“I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States,” he wrote.
Trump’s announcement came a day after US media said federal prosecutors have informed the former president’s lawyers that he is the target of the probe into his handling of classified documents.
