He also said that he has been “summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM”.
Reports suggest he is facing a multi-count indictment related to retaining national defence information, and obstruction of justice. However, The indictment – a document which details the charges against him – has not been publicly released
The former president, who is campaigning to return to the White House in 2024, says the move is “a disgusting act of election interference”.
“I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election,” he wrote.
The Department of Justice has yet to put out a statement.
This will be Trump’s second court summons in a matter of months after a New York grand jury indicted him in April.
