As reported earlier, former President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that his lawyers had been informed of his indictment by a Miami grand jury in a Department of Justice probe regarding documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago residence last August. Trump revealed that he was issued a summons to appear in the federal courthouse in Miami on June 13 at 3 p.m. EST.
This comes just days after Trump’s team of lawyers met with officials at DOJ headquarters on Monday. Reports estimated the meeting to have lasted for about 90 minutes. Following his attorneys, John Rowley, James Trusty, and Lindsey Halligan’s meeting, Trump responded in disbelief on social media, alerting audiences to his imminent incitement, writing:
How can DOJ possibly charge me, who did nothing wrong, when no other presidents were charged, when Joe Biden won’t be charged for anything, including the fact that he has 1,850 boxes, much of it classified, and some dating back to his Senate day when even Democrat Senators are shocked. Also, President Clinton had documents, and won in court. Crooked Hillary deleted 33,000 emails, many classified, and wasn’t even close to being charged! Only Trump – the greatest witch hunt of all time!
