Former President Donald Trump‘s lawyers have requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland over the investigation into Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Trump posted the letter he sent to Garland on Truth Social, in which his lawyers allege authorities are handling Trump’s case “unfairly” when compared to inquiries into President Joe Biden and his family.

“We represent Donald J. Trump, the 45 President of the United States, in the investigation currently being conducted by the Special Counsel’s Office,” it reads. “Unlike President Biden, his son Hunter, and the Biden family, President Trump is being treated unfairly. No President of the United States has ever, in the history of our country, been baselessly investigated in such an outrageous and unlawful fashion.”
“We request a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss the ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated by your Special Counsel and his prosecutors,” the letter continued.
The request comes shortly after a Wall Street Journal report revealed that special counsel Jack Smith “has all but finished obtaining testimony and other evidence in his criminal investigation.”

The report added that “some of Trump’s close associates are bracing for his indictment and anticipate being able to fundraise off a prosecution.” It also said, “In recent weeks prosecutors working for Smith have completed interviews with nearly every employee at Trump’s Florida home” and that “questions that appeared to home in on specific elements Smith’s team would need to show to prove a crime.”
The Washington Examiner reached out to Garland and Trump attorney John P. Rowley III.
