Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith declaring him a target of a grand jury investigation into events leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
said the contest was rigged against him and that Congress should send back electoral vote counting to certain states. The claims reached a tipping point on Jan. 6, 2021, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol as lawmakers tried to certify President Biden’s victory.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican, defended Mr. Trump’s actions in the wake of the election as a justified attempt to root out fraud. She said an indictment would be unfounded and Mr. Trump would be cleared in court. “We are worse than Russia. We are worse than China. We are worse than some of the most corrupt third-world countries, and this needs to end. It’s an absolute lie,” Ms. Greene said. “President Trump has [been] proven innocent time and time and time again, and he’ll be proven innocent again.”
