As we reported, Donald Trump announced on his social media platform Truth Social Tuesday that Special Counsel Jack Smith has sent him a "Target letter" indicating that more charges are coming against the former president.
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.
The letter does not mention statues [sic] on sedition or insurrection, according to the source.
Trump is the only person named in the letter, the source says.
The source said the statues listed likely refer to the prosecutor's interest in charging Trump with obstructing the election certification process, including Trump efforts to pressure Mike Pence to stop the certification of President Biden's 2020 victory.
Trump has been facing an onslaught of investigations and charges in recent months as the Department of Justice and Special Counsel Jack Smith are seemingly on a crusade.
The notification deepens Trump's legal peril as the 2024 presidential race heats up, with Trump as the front-runner for the Republican nomination.
