Politico: US Prosecutors Notified Trump He Is Target of Investigation

US prosecutors have told former US President Donald Trump of opening a criminal investigation against him, Politico reported, citing a source.

According to the US newspaper: "Federal lawyers have notified former President Donald Trump in writing that he is the subject of a criminal investigation."

According to ABC News, the investigation is related to the storage of confidential documents by the former president.

Earlier, Trump posted on the Truth Social network, a message stating that no one informed him of the charges against him and that he "did nothing wrong."

On Monday, the Washington Post reported that the former president's lawyers were discussing improper handling of classified papers at the Justice Department.

According to the newspaper, Trump's lawyers arrived at the department to persuade the authorities not to press charges against their client.

It is noteworthy that observers believe that this issue and others may prevent Trump from returning to a second term in the White House.
