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

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the special counsel investigations into Trump's conduct. The letter cited no specifics but asserted that Trump was being treated unfairly by the Justice Department through the investigations led by the special counsel, Jack Smith. Smith is scrutinizing Trump's handling of classified material that was discovered at his private Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, after his presidency, as well as his efforts to retain power after he lost the 2020 election. It is highly unlikely that Garland would agree to meet with Trump's lawyers, according to one of the attorney general's former aides.
