| Lawyers for Donald Trump met yesterday with Justice Department officials after requesting a meeting to discuss their concerns about the investigations into the former president’s handling of classified documents. As the end of the inquiry nears, Trump’s advisers are said to have concluded that there might not be much more time to stave off charges. |
| Shortly after their visit, Trump posted a message on his social media platform, Truth Social, suggesting that his legal team had at least discussed with him the possibility that he could be indicted. “How can DOJ possibly charge me, who did nothing wrong,” he wrote in all capital letters. |
| Prosecutors are expected to question a new witness in front of a federal grand jury sitting in Florida this week, people familiar with the matter said. At least one other witness has already appeared before the Florida grand jury, which is separate from the one that has been sitting for months in Washington. |
| Trump on tape: Federal prosecutors have a recording from 2021 in which Trump discusses a sensitive military document he claims to have kept after leaving the White House. The recording underscores the weight of the evidence in the case. |
