Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor, said that Donald Trump is the "ultimate target" of the Justice Department's criminal investigation.
According to Newsweek, investigators are working their way up the criminal food chain towards the former president.
Donald Trump is the target according to me. It seems to me that there are some things happening. The DOJ seems to be working its way up the criminal food chain.
Donald Trump's footsoldiers of the insurrection that he told to go attack the Capitol and stop the steal are still being pursued and prosecuted by the government. He said that they obeyed the commands from their commander in chief.
More than 800 people have been arrested and charged with crimes since President Trump's supporters descended on the US Capitol.
Some of the people charged had argued that they were following Trump's orders when they took part in the Capitol Riot.
According to Insider, the criminal inquiry into the insurrection has centered on rioters and lower-level planners, but legal experts think it could be related to Trump's circle.
The department has issued subpoenas for information on several Trump lawyers. According to The Guardian, other top Trump allies may be in prosecutors' sights.
The DOJ inquired about interview transcripts from the January 6 House investigation committee, which is unrelated to the DOJ investigation. Among the transcripts are those of high-ranking Trump associates.
The New York Times reported that these interviews could be used to make criminal charges.
Insider requested a comment from the Department of Justice on Sunday morning.
The former Trump advisor said he was put in handcuffs and leg irons while being arrested after trying to board a flight.
According to court documents, Navarro was indicted on charges of contempt of Congress after repeatedly disobeying the orders of the House Committee.
