Breaking News<\/span><\/p>\nDonald Trump Says He Received Letter Saying He's A Target Of January 6th Investigation<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n
Trump and Republican congressional allies claim that he is being unfairly targeted, as some lawmakers on Capitol Hill attack federal authorities and even suggest defunding the FBI.<\/p>\n The attacks on the justice system continued this week, as Trump said that he has received notice from Smith that he is a target of another investigation into the January 6th attack on the Capitol. The former president said that the letter was a prelude to arrest and indictment.<\/p>\n Trump also is facing New York state charges related to the hush money payments that were made to porn star Stormy Daniels in advance of the 2016 presidential election. That trial, centering on whether he falsified business records, is scheduled to start in March. He also faces several civil trials. All of them raise the scenario that Trump, the leading contender for the GOP nomination, will be mired in civil and criminal court proceedings in the midst of a campaign. <\/p>\n The date is in the latter part of GOP primary season, meaning that there is strong likelihood that the party will have a presumptive nominee by that point. The first contest, the Iowa caucus, is scheduled for January 15.<\/p>\n In her setting the schedule, Cannon noted the complexities in the case and the volume of documents involved. Trump’s team had argued that setting a trial in the midst of the 2024 presidential election would create the likelihood of “insurmountable prejudice,” but Cannon wrote that it was “unnecessary to resolution” at this point.<\/p>\n Cannon also scheduled a series of dates related to pre-trial discovery and protective orders, given the extent of classified material that is at issue in the case. The trial is scheduled to take place in Fort Pierce, FL.<\/p>\n Trump and his aide, Walt Nauta, who also is facing charges in the case, have each plead not guilty.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MCDSOOF_ZU051.jpg\")
