Washington — Former President Donald Trump has added attorney John Lauro to the legal team representing him in matters related to special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Trump's actions after the 2020 presidential election, the Trump campaign confirmed Thursday.
The addition of Lauro comes after Trump said he has been informed by Smith's office that he is the target of a criminal investigation. Smith has been investigating alleged attempts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election, including the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Smith's office cited three federal statutes in its letter informing Trump that he is a target of the investigation, according to a senior Trump source. Two of the statutes relate to conspiracy to commit an offense or to defraud the U.S., and deprivation of rights under color of law. The third includes potential charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to tampering with a witness, victim or informant.
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is typically a springboard for the company to announce new tech features for its software programs, and not as flashy as its yearly September event to trumpet its latest iPhone rollout. But this year, the WWDC could be a make-or-break moment for the tech giant.
