CBS News' cameras caught former President Trump’s lawyers arriving at the Justice Department, weeks after Trump's lawyers requested a meeting with top federal law enforcement officials.
CBS News saw Trump's legal team walking into the Justice Department. They did not speak as they entered the building in Washington, and they stayed for just under two hours.
Special counsel Jack Smith has been investigating the former president after documents with classified markings from his White House tenure were uncovered at Trump's Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, in August 2022. Prosecutors are also looking into whether there were efforts to obstruct attempts to recover the records, according to multiple sources close to the investigation.
Several sources with knowledge of the investigation believe that a charging decision in the documents case is imminent, and Trump lawyers in recent days were expected to meet at some point with the Justice Department to talk through where things stand and to potentially lay out their concerns about the prosecutors' efforts so far.
Trump lawyers Rowley and Trusty had written a letter in May complaining that their client was being treated"unfairly" and asked to"discuss the ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated by your Special Counsel and his prosecutors."
