The charges could be issued as soon as 1:00 p.m. EST (5:00 p.m. GMT) after a meeting of the grand jury is concluded and the magistrate tends to hear the cases.

CBS News reported on Monday, citing sources, that former US President Donald Trump may face an indictment in a special counsel probe into the January 6 US Capitol riot as soon as Tuesday.

The charges could be issued as soon as 1:00 p.m. EST (5:00 p.m. GMT) after a meeting of the grand jury is concluded and the magistrate tends to hear the cases.

But an indictment is not decisive, the report noted.  

Trump said earlier this month that he was informed by Special Counsel Jack Smith he was a target of the January 6 investigation.

On Trump's Truth Social platform, he wrote that "Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden's DOJ, sent a letter... stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6 Grand Jury investigation."

Trump claimed that he received the letter on July 16 and had "a very short four days" to report to a grand jury, "which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment."

"This witch hunt is all about election interference and a complete and total political weaponization of law enforcement," Trump said. "It is a very sad and dark period for our Nation!"

The implications to Trump's 2024 presidential campaign may be serious, the report states, as a potential indictment may inevitably result in an electoral defeat. 

Although opponent Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have voiced their opposition against the potential indictment, others, such as Democratic US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, said that the indictment process should take place without any interference from political allies.
