As we’ve been observing here for the last couple of weeks, it appears that an indictment of former president Donald Trump by the Biden Justice Department’s special counsel, Jack Smith, is imminent. The indictment would be based on Trump’s unlawful retention of national-defense intelligence at Mar-a-Lago, his resort club and estate in Palm Beach, and it would center on his obstruction of a federal grand jury’s probe of that retention.
Trump’s lawyers met on Monday with Smith at the Justice Department in Washington. That is a strong sign that a decision on whether to charge the former president is looming. Smith’s grand jury is known to be meeting this week, so it is possible an indictment could be approved, although it appears that prosecutors still have some testimony they want to present to the panel.
