NEW YORK (Dagbladet): A wide range of media, such as the Washington Post, New York Times, Reuters, ABC News, CNN and The Guardian reports on Wednesday evening local time that Trump has received a message indicating that he is a big step closer to a new serious indictment in the case of the classified documents that were seized from his home in Florida last year.
This could be dramatic for Trump, who is currently trying to become the Republican presidential candidate again in the 2024 election.
Trump is said to have taken the classified documents with him when he left the White House in January 2021. This in itself may be illegal.
In addition, it is suspected that he has tried to prevent the documents from being returned, which in itself would also be a serious offense as several of the documents are said to have been very sensitive for national security.

Suggests indictment
It was the federal prosecutor’s office that last week should have informed Trump’s lawyers that he is the target of the investigation, writes The Guardian.
This rise, in addition to the fact that grand juries in both Washington DC and Florida have heard evidence in the case, testify that an indictment against Trump may be imminent.
This week, Trump’s lawyers also met with special investigator Jack Smith, who is leading the investigation into the classified documents. They then tried to convince Smith that the ex-president should not be prosecuted.
– The Ministry of Justice’s guidelines allow prosecutors to inform people about investigations where they are the target. Often such a notice is a clear sign that an indictment is on the way, but it is also possible that people who receive such a notice do not end up being indicted, writes CNN.
Answers Trump: – Didn’t happen
By giving people a notice that they are the target of an investigation, the person who is the target of the investigation will also have an opportunity to present their own evidence or testify before a grand jury before they are actually indicted.
– Right
Trump himself denied that he has been informed that he is the target of the investigation.
– That is not true, Trump said to the well-known New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman on Wednesday, according to her Twitter account.
He also adds that he has done nothing wrong.
– No one has told me that I will be prosecuted. And I shouldn’t be because I’ve done NOTHING wrong, but I’ve assumed for years that I’m the target of the armed Justice Department and the FBI, Trump writes on his own platform Truth Social on Wednesday.
In the last month, the prosecution has summoned several Trump employees to testify before the grand jury, which decides whether there is a basis for an indictment.
Sound recording
On Wednesday, Trump’s former spokesperson Taylor Budowich testified. Recently, Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows also testified.
For a long time, there have been steady leaks from the investigation, which became seriously known to the public when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago last summer.
Blacklists Trump
Recently CNN reported that Smith, who is investigating Trump’s handling of the documents, should also be in possession of an audio recording that undermines Trump’s explanation in the case.
On the recording, the former president can allegedly be heard admitting that he took care of a classified document from the Pentagon after he left the White House.
The document in question is said to have contained information about a potential attack against Iran.
Convicted of being an asshole
Many investigations
The dossier investigation that could potentially lead to a very serious indictment for Trump is not his only legal problem.
He has already been charged in New York in connection with the payment of hush money to the porn actor Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election. Here he is scheduled to appear in court in March next year – in the middle of the Republican nomination battle.
Additionally, he is being investigated in Georgia for potentially trying to pressure local election officials to overturn the 2020 election results.
At the federal level, he is also being investigated for his role in the deadly attack on Congress on January 6, 2021.
