Summary
As we settled into News Agents USA HQ, the breaking news that Trump may be set to face trial for a third time, and criminal proceedings for a second time, wafted in. We talk to the Washington Post's Olivier Knox about what this means for Trump, his rivals and the ever-quickening race to be the next incumbent of the White House.
Joe Manchin, the highly influential Democrat Senator of West Virginia, seems to be flirting with an independent run for the White House, forging a ticket with a former Republican Governor of Utah. What are third parties like in the US? Is it even possible to get close to the presidency without the backing of the two major US parties?
And... don't send sensitive emails without checking who you're sending to. A lesson for the Pentagon, who, instead of sending private emails to staff, accidentally sent the missives to the government of Mali.

| 0:13.0 | I'm not going to do the voice or attempt to do the accent, but this is a post on something called Truth Social that belongs to a former |
| 0:23.5 | president of the United States of America, who is into property, once hosted the apprentice |
| 0:28.3 | and likes to talk about himself. Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden's DOJ, |
| 0:36.8 | sent a letter, again it was Sunday night, stating that |
| 0:39.8 | I am a target, block capitals, of the January 6th grand jury investigation and giving me a very |
| 0:46.6 | short four days to report to the grand jury, which almost always means an arrest and indictment. |
| 0:54.8 | I think he also called Jack Smith a cokehead. |
| 0:57.9 | I could be wrong, but it's kind of in keeping. |
| 1:01.4 | But just to put this in some sort of formal context, this is breaking news, |
| 1:06.8 | because former President Trump has received a target letter. |
| 1:10.8 | He has to respond to it in four days, and it is basically the opportunity because former President Trump has received a target letter. |

| 1:24.7 | because he has now become a target in the January 6th investigation. |
| 1:28.9 | And today on Newsagents USA, we're going to try and unpick what that actually means. |
| 1:33.0 | This is the Newsagents USA with Emily Maidless and John Sobel. |
| 1:41.9 | It's John. |
| 1:43.2 | It's Emily. And the other bit of the letter that you didn't read out on True Social starts like this. Wow.
