"You have heard this before -- we're on grand jury watch," Willie Geist said on today's Morning Joe.
"Special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into former president Trump for his efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election are expected to return today. Donald Trump indicated he received a target letter. The letter suggests the former president could face charges of depriving voters their rights, conspiracy to defraud the United States and witness tampering.
"Trump posted yesterday on social media he assumes an indictment will be coming, quote, 'any day now.' We've all been assuming that for a week and a half. We told our viewers that the grand jury meets Tuesdays and Thursdays. We're at another Tuesday. where's your take on where things stand right now?" he asked Washington Post reporter Jackie Alemany.
"I'm reticent to make any predictions. Last week we predicted the indictment would be coming down. Instead, we got a superseding indictment on the classified documents case where a third employee, Carlos De Oliveira was charged. This week we are expecting finally the indictment to come down from the Justice Department on Donald Trump for the January 6th attack on the U.S. capitol and all the efforts ahead of January 6th and the aftermath of trying to overturn the results of the election.
"The grand jury does meet today. We'll all be on lookout. I'm sure there are tons of reporters outside the courthouse in D.C. right now. Of course, this is a waiting game. Anything is possible. "
