Update:
“They met w/#Justice Dept personnel including #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith, but NOT #AttorneyGeneral #MerrickGarland or Deputy Attorney General #LisaMonaco, said people familiar w/the matter, who like others interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a closed door proceeding.”

…And in #Trump’s case, a meeting w/the #AttorneyGeneral would be even more unusual & problematic because the investigation is being led by #JackSmith, whose #SpecialCounsel appointment gives him greater autonomy than other prosecutors in the #Justice Dept. Under dept regs, the AG may overrule the special counsel ONLY IF the special counsel has failed to follow DOJ policies & practices.

It is not unusual for lawyers for high-profile defendants to seek an audience w/snr #DOJ ofcls toward the end of a federal #criminal investigation. But it would be uncommon for such meetings to take place w/the #AttorneyGeneral, the nation’s top #law enforcement ofcl.

Among the attys at the meeting were #JohnRowley & #JamesTrusty….
In late May, Rowley & Trusty sent a letter to #AttorneyGeneral #MerrickGarland asking for a meeting to discuss what they call the unfair treatment of their client by #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith, who is leading the probe.

Here’s hoping #AttorneyGeneral #MerrickGarland didn’t actually grant a meeting to these yahoos…
Attts for #Trump came to the #DOJ Mon morning to make their case that the government should not charge the fmr president in connection w/his possession of #ClassifiedDocuments after leaving office….
