Trump legal team requests meeting with AG Garland over ongoing investigations.

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland, indicating that special counsel Jack Smith's probe into Trump's handling of classified documents is nearing the indictment phase. Smith is investigating Trump's alleged mishandling of highly classified national security records at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office, as well as alleged efforts by the former president to resist returning those records to the federal government even after a Justice Department subpoena. The lawyers did not mention the prospect of indictments or specify which of Smith's investigations they were referencing.
