Former US president Donald Trump said that he expects to be indicted “any day now” by the Justice Department over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

On his social media site Truth Social, Trump on Monday (July 31) claimed that special counsel Jack Smith would file charges against him to “cover up” a litany of unfounded allegations against President Joe Biden.

“I assume that an Indictment from Deranged Jack Smith and his highly partisan gang of Thugs, pertaining to my ‘PEACEFULLY &amp; PATRIOTICALLY Speech, will be coming out any day now, as yet another attempt to cover up all of the bad news about bribes, payoffs, and extortion, coming from the Biden ‘camp (sic),’” Trump said.

&nbsp;“This seems to be the way they do it. ELECTION INTERFERENCE! PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT!”

<h2>Smith goes after Trump</h2>

Smith has been probing Trump’s attempts to subvert the results after losing the 2020 presidential bid and his role in inciting the January 6 Capitol insurrection, after he claimed the election being rigged.

Trump’s supporters had stormed violently and ransacked the Capitol in a bid to halt the certification of the election results.

For weeks, anticipation had been building over possible Trump’s indictment after he revealed that he had received a letter from the Justice Department notifying him he was a target of their investigation.

According to the New York Times, the Department of Justice told Trump that he could be indicted under a Civil War-era statute that prohibits US citizens from intimidating others from exercising their rights.

<h2>Trump's third indictment&nbsp;</h2>

This would mark the second indictment initiated by Smith against Trump, and the former president’s third overall ever since he announced his 2024 bid.

In June, the Justice Department indicted Trump on 37 counts related to mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House.

Smith’s office added additional three 3 new felony charges to the case last week accusing Trump of taking steps to hide his efforts to conceal documents from prosecutors, including by allegedly instructing his employees to delete security footage from Mar-A-Lago security cameras.

Furthermore, a probe in Georgia involving whether Trump attempted to change that state’s presidential election results after the 2020 race is also expected to result in charges.

Capitol riots: Donald Trump expects to be indicted ‘any day now’

A brace from striker Jamie Vardy gave Leicester City a commanding 4-1 victory over basement side Huddersfield Town at the John Smith's Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.

Youri Tielemans opened the scoring with a long-range strike that came from a Leicester corner in the 24th minute. The Belgian midfielder latched on to Christopher Schindler's poor clearance to curl home a well-placed shot from 20 yards out.

Vardy doubled their lead three minutes after the break when he got on the end of a sublime cross from right back Ricardo Pereira that beat both the defenders, although there was a hint of offside when the striker made his run.

Huddersfield halved the lead four minutes later when midfielder Aaron Mooy converted a penalty after Caglar Soyuncu brought down Karlan Grant inside the box. The Australian sent goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way to make it 2-1.

However, James Maddison restored Leicester's two-goal advantage with a freekick in the 79th minute. Goalkeeper Ben Hamer misjudged the trajectory and took a step to his right before realising too late that the shot was headed to his left.

Vardy then sealed victory with a penalty five minutes later when Terence Kongolo fouled him after he had rounded the goalkeeper. It was his 104th goal for Leicester, going past former England striker Gary Lineker's haul for the club.

The result moved Brendan Rodgers's side to seventh in the standings with 47 points after 33 games, ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers on goal difference.
