Former President Donald Trump is claiming on Truth Social that he has been indicted in relation to the Department of Justice's investigation into the potential mishandling of classified documents.
"I have been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "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. I AM AN INNOCENT MAN!"
ABC and CNN report the former president has been indicted on 7 charges in relation to the investigation into his mishandling of classified documents.
This would be the first time a former president has faced federal charges. Trump was indicted by New York prosecutors earlier this year over hush money payments paid to the adult entertainer Stormy Daniels.
A spokesperson for the DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment
