Donald Trump's legal team is seeking a meeting with special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday, as a potential federal indictment looms, three sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

In a presidential contest cycle, Senate races don't get the same kind of attention when there's still a year to go until Election Day. But the start of the second fundraising quarter earlier this month brought a host of new candidate names -- some declared and some still biding their time -- that will help shape the race for control of the chamber in 2024 and the ultimate power dynamics for whoever is president in 2025.

Donald Trump is said to be preparing for the federal grand jury to potentially vote to indict him on charges over the January 6 Capitol riot and his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election today. Sources told NBC News that the former president’s legal and political teams are getting ready for the possibility that the vote will take place on Thursday – and that Mr Trump will be hit with his third criminal indictment. Last week, Mr Trump said he had received a letter from special counsel Jack Smith’s office saying he is the target of a grand jury investigation. Former New York City Police Department commissioner Bernie Kerik, a Rudy Giuliani ally, has since agreed to turn over hundreds of documents to the DOJ as part of its probe, court documents reveal. Ahead of the potential looming indictment, Mr Trump has gone on the attack against his political rivals and Mr Smith, and also posted a video begging Congress to help save him from his escalating legal troubles. This comes as Melania Trump is reportedly distancing herself from her husband’s 2024 campaign, rejecting multiple requests to join him at campaign stops.
