Former president Donald Trump has been advised by the Justice Department that he is a target of special counsel Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago investigation.

The New York Times reported Wednesday evening that Trump’s lawyers were informed by prosecutors from Smith’s office that he is a target of their investigation into his mishandling of national-security documents and his obstruction of their work — which includes alleged concealment of documents and related misrepresentations to the grand jury.
