Special counsel Jack Smith is investigating Donald Trump for retaining classified records at his residence in Florida after leaving the White House.
Such notification typically occurs before prosecutors decide whether to lodge criminal charges against a target.
Trump's attorneys were told at a meeting Monday at the Department of Justice with special counsel Jack Smith and other DOJ officials that he is a target of the classified documents investigation, according to two sources briefed on the meeting, NBC reported. It was not clear if they previously had been notified of that status for him.
Smith is probing Trump both for keeping classified records at his residence in his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, and his suspected efforts to hide those documents and keep them from government officials seeking their return. By law, presidents must surrender government records when they leave office.
A raid on Mar-a-Lago last August by the FBI uncovered hundreds of classified documents and other government records.
