in classified documents probe, sources say

 The Justice Department recently informed Donald rump’s legal team that he is a target in a federal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified documents, sources familiar with the matter said, a sign that prosecutors may be moving closer to indicting the former president.

The sources have been informed of the target letter and its contents but had not seen it themselves.Prosecutors’ decision to inform the rump he’s a target crystallizes that special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation is focused on the rump’s actions and not just the actions of people around him.

The rump, in an interview with The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman on Wednesday, would not say whether he had been told he was a target in the special counsel’s investigation, but he denied that he had been told he would be indicted.
