The same man who has relentlessly attacked his political and legal enemies on the campaign trail, in the White House and on social media – often using violent and incendiary rhetoric – is now showing up at the courthouse. But unlike with his campaign rhetoric, Trump has faced consequences in the legal world for his verbal attacks. This week’s court appearances underscored the reality that Trump’s rhetoric will be the same whether he’s outside a courthouse or on the stage of a campaign rally. And he attacked the judge’s clerk as a “disgrace,” even before his social media post about her. And he said he would return to testify as a witness “at the appropriate time.”Trump’s incendiary rhetoric is nothing new.

Another has an ally in Congress vowing to support his legal defense. On Thursday, Trump’s legal team formally asked a judge to sever his case from his co-defendants who want a speedy trial, according to court filings. The prospect of a costly legal defense has prompted some defendants to find other ways to raise money. Paying the legal bills of his co-defendants in Georgia could help the former president keep them all unified as they fight the Fulton County charges. None of the defendants has pleaded guilty, but it is common for criminal defendants facing mounting legal bills to end their cases without the time-consuming costs of a trial.

The potential charges listed in the target letter suggest the special counsel will prosecute a bigger case against Trump than the former president’s team was expecting, given the evidence they are aware of. That has led to questions if there is evidence or testimony they don’t know about, the sources said. Trump’s team of lawyers and advisers have tried to keep close tabs on investigation. The former president’s political action committee has underwritten legal costs for multiple witnesses, which has given them some insight into what has been shared with Smith’s team. Trump said on social media Tuesday that he received a target letter from Smith on Sunday, a signal that charges in the case could be coming soon.

In the classified documents case, Trump received a target letter from the special counsel’s office on May 19. Three days after that, on June 8, the grand jury returned an indictment against Trump and his co-defendant and aide Walt Nauta. The special counsel has also probed Trump’s knowledge that he lost the 2020 election, pressure within the Justice Department to help with efforts to overturn the election and fundraising efforts after the election. Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, told CNN that Giuliani has not received a target letter. The grand jury investigating 2020 election interference is meeting Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Washington, DC.

The sources have been informed of the target letter and its contents but had not seen it themselves. Justice Department regulations allow for prosecutors to notify subjects of an investigation that they have become a target. Once informed, a target has the opportunity to present evidence or testify to the grand jury if they choose. Last August, FBI agents retrieved more than 100 classified documents from Mar-a-Lago after obtaining a search warrant. Most of the witnesses have appeared before a grand jury in Washington, DC, but in recent weeks a federal grand jury in Florida has heard testimony from multiple witnesses.
