Weeks after former President Donald Trump requested a meeting with the Department of Justice (DOJ), his attorneys John Rowley, James Trusty, and Lindsey Halligan were seen entering DOJ headquarters on Monday around 10 a.m. and stayed for just under two hours. Photos showing Trump’s lawyers arriving and leaving the meeting emerged on social media. Attorney General Merrick Garland was not part of the meeting, according to reports.
According to two sources familiar with the investigation, Trump’s legal team is frustrated over the handling of attorney-client matters by DOJ officials in recent months. These issues are expected to have been addressed in Monday’s meeting, specifically regarding prosecutors discussing the subject matter in the presence of the grand jury.

On Monday, Trump wrote on Truth Social:
HOW CAN DOJ POSSIBLY CHARGE ME, WHO DID NOTHING WRONG, WHEN NO OTHER PRESIDENT’S WERE CHARGED, WHEN JOE BIDEN WON’T BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT HE HAS 1,850 BOXES, MUCH OF IT CLASSIFIED, AND SOME DATING BACK TO HIS SENATE DAY WHEN EVEN DEMOCRAT SENATORS ARE SHOCKED. ALSO, PRESIDENT CLINTON HAD DOCUMENTS, AND WON IN COURT. CROOKED HILLARY DELETED 33,000 EMAILS, MANY CLASSIFIED, AND WASN’T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CHARGED! ONLY TRUMP – THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!
Speculation is circulating as to whether the former President will be charged with crimes related to documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
