Trump Lawyers Request Meeting with AG Garland on Special Counsel Investigation and Unfair Treatment

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland requesting a meeting to discuss the "unfair" treatment of their client by special counsel Jack Smith. Smith is overseeing two distinct categories of Trump-related investigations, and the letter repeats Trump's claim that the Justice Department has been biased against him. The letter does not specify what alleged injustices they object to, but it was sent as grand jury activity in one of the cases has slowed in recent weeks. The proposed meeting is unlikely, as Smith is running the investigation and is not subject to the day-to-day oversight of any person at the Justice Department.
