Edit: please pay attention to the first two words of this headline. We don’t actually know if Trump received a target letter, he could be lying out of his ass to mess with the investigation.

Newsworthy because this means an indictment decision is near. We already knew he was a potential person of interest, that is why the Special Counsel got appointed in the first place.
No, newsworthy because Trump is using his public profile to mess with this investigation again. We have no way of knowing whether or not he actually received a target letter because he lies about things constantly and could be lying about this as well.
I have a pet theory that he knows it’s in the future but not as imminent as he suggests (like the docs case) but if he says it’s imminent now he can spin yarns about their case being in tatters and delays being due to mistakes, etc like he tried to spin for the docs case.
It’s all about the optics to his base.
Do investigators often send letters tipping off suspects?
If the investigator thinks the suspect will rush to social media to further implicate themself, yes.
He had better be a target of that investigation.
