Trump Lawyers Visit Justice Dept. as Classified Documents Inquiry Nears End

“How can DOJ possibly charge me, who did nothing wrong,” Mr. Trump wrote in all capital letters.
Tim Parlatore, a lawyer who resigned last month from representing Mr. Trump, said that the former president’s legal team has harbored worries for some time about how prosecutors working for Mr. Smith have conducted the classified documents inquiry.
“I’ve long had concerns about the manner in which D.O.J. personnel conducted this investigation,” Mr. Parlatore said. “Regardless of what the evidence shows, if your prosecution team has engaged in misconduct, that’s a relevant factor to consider in making any charging decisions, particularly in a case with significant political magnitude.”
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mr. Smith, declined to comment.
The meeting at the Justice Department came as prosecutors were still pursuing several avenues of inquiry in the documents case.
Prosecutors are expected to question a new witness in front of a federal grand jury sitting in Florida later this week, according to people familiar with the gaming matter. At least one other witness has already appeared before the Florida grand jury, which is separate from the one that has been sitting for months in Washington. It is not clear why a second grand jury is taking testimony in Florida.
Prosecutors are also interested in an incident from October in which a worker drained a pool at Mar-a-Lago, causing water damage in a room that contained computer servers that held digital logs for the compound’s security cameras, according to a person familiar with the matter. The interest of prosecutors in the pool incident was reported earlier by CNN.
