Trump's legal team seeks meeting with AG Garland to halt criminal probes.

Donald Trump's legal team is seeking a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss unspecified improprieties in special counsel Jack Smith's probes and to argue why the former president shouldn't be indicted. They hope Garland will close the federal probes into Trump and allow the 2024 presidential campaign season to continue "without interference." However, it remains to be seen if Garland would consider holding such a meeting, especially as Smith is operating independently. Trump's attorneys also complained that he was being treated unfairly in comparison to President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden, who is under investigation by the Trump-appointed US attorney in Delaware.
