What does the civil rights statute in Trump's potential Jan. 6 indictment letter mean?
Former President Donald Trump could be indicted in connection with a civil rights statute for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, one that has been used before to safeguard against potential election interference. A July 16 target letter from special counsel Jack Smith's team alerted Trump that he is a target of the special counsel's investigation into efforts to interfere with the 2020 presidential election results, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
