Special counsel Jack Smith’s probe into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol is putting a focus on former President Trump’s fundraising, according to a new report.
The Washington Post reports that Smith’s office has sent subpoenas to the former president’s advisers, ex-campaign aides and others involved in his 2020 presidential bid.
Investigators are looking at whether Trump or his team duped donors into giving money with false claims of voter fraud, focusing on money raised between Election Day on Nov. 3, 2020, and the end of Trump’s time in office in January, according to the Post.
Some of the recipients of the recent subpoenas have reportedly testified before a Washington grand jury.

Smith is looking at everything. Very impressed he is moving forward so aggressively. I just wish Merrick Garland had done all this more than 2 years ago. If he didn’t have the stomach to investigate and prosecute Trump, he should have passed this off to Smith or another prosecutor long ago.
