Trump Lawyers Meet with Special Counsel as Possible Indictment Nears
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Attorneys representing former President Trump met with special counsel
Jack Smith at the Justice Department Monday in a last-minute plea to
avoid an indictment. Trump's lawyers had requested to meet with Attorney
General Merrick Garland. It's believed the conversation focused on grand
jury investigations around Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020
presidential election, his role in the January 6 insurrection and his
mishandling of classified documents.
