Statement by Governor Asa Hutchinson on News of Donald Trump Being a Target of the January 6th Investigation

WASHINGTON — The Asa for America campaign released the following statement today in regard to the news that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has notified Donald Trump that he is a target of the January 6th investigation. This statement can be attributed to Governor Asa Hutchinson:

"I have said from the beginning that Donald Trump's actions on January 6 should disqualify him from ever being President again. As a former federal prosecutor, I understand the severity of Grand Jury investigations and what it means to be targeted by such an investigation. Donald Trump has confirmed that he is a target of this investigation and will likely be indicted once again. While Donald Trump would like the American people to believe that he is the victim in this situation, the truth is that the real victims of January 6th were our democracy, our rule of law, and those Capitol Police officers who worked valiantly to protect our Capitol. Anyone who truly loves this country and is willing to put the country over themselves would suspend their campaign for President of the United States immediately. It is disappointing that Donald Trump refuses to do so." — Gov. Asa Hutchinson, the 46th Governor of Arkansas and a current Republican candidate for President
