In the classified documents case, Donald Trump's lawyers received the Justice Department meeting they wanted. But as stevebenen writes, their client's latest tantrum suggested it didn't go especially well.
correspondence did not persuade the nation’s chief law enforcement official to sit down with the former president’s defense counsel.NBC News has confirmed that part of Trump’s legal team met with special counsel Jack Smith and others at Justice Department headquarters in Washington on Monday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Garland and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco were not in attendance, the defense attorney’s request notwithstanding. While it’s difficult to say with confidence what was said behind closed doors, there’s little to suggest the conversation went well: Shortly after his lawyers left the Justice Department, Trump turned to his social media platform to publish the latest in a series of online tantrums.
