Former President Donald Trump said his legal team had a “productive meeting” Thursday with the Justice Department for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probe, but prosecutors did not give any indication that he would receive a notice of indictment in the probe involving efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
“My attorneys had a productive meeting with the DOJ this morning, explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers, and that an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country. No indication of notice was given during the meeting — Do not trust the Fake News on anything!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
As the grand jury in the case met Thursday, NBC News had reported that the former president’s attorneys were told to expect him to be indicted.
Trump was indicted last month on 37 counts related to the handling of classified documents in another probe led by Smith. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The former president said last week that the Justice Department said he is a target in the 2020 election probe, which is focusing on efforts to challenge President Biden’s win and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
