Read the latest on the special counsel probe:

A sealed indictment has been handed down against an unnamed individual in the investigation of former President Donald Trump and his allies' attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump announced July 18 that he received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith notifying him he is the target of a grand jury examining the Jan. 6 riot and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Members of the grand jury in the Jan. 6 investigation were spotted at the courthouse this morning.

A new indictment was filed last week in a separate special counsel investigation of Trump involving his alleged mishandling of classified records. That indictment brought more charges against the former president and a top aide and added a newly charged defendant, Carlos De Oliveira, a property manager at Mar-a-Lago who helped move boxes of classified documents.

Meanwhile, Trump’s legal woes are costing his political operation millions of dollars.
