Former President Donald Trump hinted on Thursday that an indictment from special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the handling of classified documents might be bringing an indictment soon.
“A very interesting situation is taking place,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“While I was in office, Bill Barr, as attorney general, was very slow & unenthusiastic about going after Joe & Hunter Biden regarding their possible criminal activity. Much was being reported in the media. It was hard getting him to move, but I always felt he believed you just don’t go after Presidents, V.P.’s, & presidential candidates very cavalierly.”
“I understood that, & was sort of OK with it.”
“Now Biden thugs want to indict me, for nothing!”

Lawyers for Trump on Tuesday asked for a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland as a Justice Department investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents shows signs of winding down.

In the letter, which Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, attorneys John Rowley and James Trusty asserted Trump is “being treated unfairly” and asked for a meeting to discuss “the ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated by your special counsel and his prosecutors.”
The language echoed some of Trump’s complaints in recent months about the investigations being led by special counsel Jack Smith.
It was not immediately clear what specifically prompted the letter, but the yearlong documents probe appears to be nearing an end. Agents and prosecutors have interviewed a broad cross-section of witnesses, including attorneys for Trump, former White House officials, and other close aides.
The investigation is trying to determine whether Trump illegally kept hundreds of classified documents taken with him from the White House to his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, at the end of his time as president or whether he sought to obstruct government efforts to get the records back.

It is not uncommon for defense lawyers to seek meetings with senior Justice Department officials to argue against potential indictments of their clients, though it is unusual for such meetings to include the attorney general.
Special counsels enjoy broad autonomy within the Justice Department, and officials have repeatedly signaled that the recommendation on whether to pursue charges against Trump or anyone else in the investigation belongs with Smith and his team. Garland did not move once to overrule any of the actions taken in the recently concluded probe by another special counsel, John Durham, into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016.
In addition to the investigation of the documents, Asmith is looking into a separate investigation into efforts by Trump and his allies to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.
