Investigators working with Special Counsel Jack Smith have reached out to former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey as part of their probe into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to meddle in the 2020 presidential election.
Special counsel Jack Smith has informed former President Donald Trump by letter that he is a target in his investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020election, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.The letter, which sources said was transmitted to Trump's attorneys in recent days, indicates that yet another indictment of the former president could be imminent -- though it is not immediately clear what kind of charges he could ultimately face.
“Yes, he’s been contacted,” a spokesperson for Ducey told ABC News. “He’s been responsive, and just as he’s done since the election, he will do the right thing.” Smith took control of the sprawling Justice Department investigation into the failed efforts by Trump and his allies to thwart his election loss upon his appointment as special counsel in November of last year, and in recent months dozens of witnesses have appeared to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C.
