The former US president has been investigated over his attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 US presidential election and his role in the ensuing Capitol riot of 6 January 2021.
In a Truth Social rant on Sunday night, Mr Trump lashed out at special counsel Jack Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland baselessly claiming that the investigations are a “coordinated Hoax” and a ploy to “steal another election”.
Joe Biden’s schedule this week is expected to be focused on spending cuts and will also honour Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by signing a proclamation to establish a national monument on the day that would have marked the 82nd birthday of the Black teenager murdered in 1955.
A White House official told The Associated Press that the monument will span three sites in Illinois, where Till grew up, and Mississippi, where he was killed.
