Trump Seeks Meeting With Merrick Garland At ‘Earliest Convenience’

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday, requesting to have a meeting at his “earliest convenience.”

Special Counsel Jack Smith, whom Garland appointed in 2022, is reportedly wrapping up his investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Trump’s team is bracing for a possible indictment and hopes to fundraise off of the outcome, like the former president did after his indictment in Manhattan.

“Unlike President Biden, his son Hunter, and the Biden family, President Trump is being treated unfairly. No President of the United States has ever, in the history of our country, been baselessly investigated in such an outrageous and unlawful fashion,” the letter reads.
