Although Donald Trump is continuing to deny it, it does appear as though his third criminal
indictment, this one for interfering with the 2020 election, may be imminent. It was admitted
by Donald Trump on his platform, Truth social that quote, My attorneys had a productive meeting with
the DOJ this morning, explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers,
and that an indictment of me would only further destroy our capital. See country.
I did everything right and they indicted me.
No indication of notice was given during the meeting. Do not trust the fake news on
anything. So Donald Trump making two or maybe three sorts of statements here. Number one,
saying his lawyers did meet with the DOJ. That is part of it. And that actually suggests
an indictment is indeed imminent. Secondly, Trump insists that the subject matter of the
meeting was his lawyers explaining he did nothing wrong, of course, at this late stage in the game.
Typically, when there has been such an extensive investigation,
the defendants lawyers coming in or the target's lawyers, he's not a defendant yet,
but the target's lawyers coming in and saying, our client did nothing wrong, sirs, our client
did nothing wrong. It's usually not super compelling. And then lastly, Trump saying that
because notice of a forthcoming indictment wasn't communicated to his lawyers during that meeting,
that indeed it is unlikely that such an indictment will be taking place. But again, that is not what
the legal experts seem to be saying. There's an AP article that summarizes the situation called
Trump says his lawyers have met with prosecutors ahead of possible 2020 election indictment.
Trump himself confirmed that untruth social. I already read that to you. And this particular
investigation, as the Associated Press reports, has focused on the turbulent two month period
after the November 2020 election, where Trump refused to accept his loss to Democrat Joe
Biden and spread lies that victory was stolen from him. This, of course, resulted in the January six
riots at the Capitol, where Trump loyalists violently broke into the building, attacked
police officers and disrupted the congressional counting of electoral votes. More than a thousand
people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot subsequently
or not subsequently. Additionally, between the election and riot, Trump was urging local election
officials to undo the results. Yadda yadda, yadda. You know the story by now. Do I believe
an indictment is coming here? Yes. Do I believe it is relevant that Trump's lawyers were not
told that the indictment was coming? No. From the legal experts whose opinions I've read, that's not
completely unheard of. And in fact, Trump already received a letter saying he's a target. So he
doesn't really need to be told that an indictment is likely coming. But in Trump's defense. It is
apparently true that his lawyers weren't told Brace for the indictment. We may learn through
leaks before we learn from Trump about this third indictment. The Georgia indictment could
be coming any day, could be a very bad couple of weeks for Donald Trump. Starting next Monday
