Former President Donald Trump’s Lawyers Spotted at Justice Department Ahead of Grand Jury Investigation

Washington, DC – Attorneys for former President Donald Trump were spotted at the Justice Department on Monday, the same week the grand jury investigating the former president’s handling of classified documents is expected to meet again.

According to NBC News, the grand jury investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents is expected to meet again this week. 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.

Three of Trump’s lawyers — James Trusty, John Rowley and Lindsey Halligan — were at the Justice Department at around 10 a.m. Monday, weeks after Trump’s lawyers had requested a meeting with top federal law enforcement officials. CBS News saw Trump’s legal team walking into the Justice Department.

Prosecutors are also looking into whether there were efforts to obstruct attempts to recover the records, according to multiple sources close to the investigation. It is unclear what the lawyers discussed with the Justice Department officials, but the meeting could be related to the grand jury investigation.

The grand jury investigation is expected to continue this week, and it is unclear when a charging decision will be made. It is also unclear if the Justice Department will take any action against Trump or any of his associates.
