Trump's Lawyers Plead with DOJ to Avoid Indictment in Classified Docs Case

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump met with Justice Department officials to argue against charging him in connection with his possession of classified documents after leaving office. The Justice Department declined to comment on the meeting. Trump's legal team has argued that the case should be investigated administratively, not as a criminal matter. Special counsel Jack Smith is leading the probe and investigating whether Trump or those close to him mishandled classified documents or obstructed government efforts to retrieve them. The classified documents case is one of four criminal probes involving the former president.
