Staff Reports
Former President Donald Trump’s defense team met with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team without receiving any guidance on the possibility of a second federal indictment against Trump. This potential indictment would be related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump has continuously claimed that the election was “rigged” and “stolen.” During the meeting, Trump’s lawyers argued their case while the prosecutors listened without indicating their intentions.
Trump's Lawyers Meet With Special Counsel, Get Zero Guidance on Looming Second Federal Indictment https://t.co/nQD8W0LA6S

Trump later posted on his Truth Social account, stating that his attorneys had a productive meeting and that he did nothing wrong. He also expressed his belief that an indictment would only harm the country further. Trump has been against a meeting between his attorneys and the Special Counsel’s team, as he believed the indictment was already a certainty. His goal is to delay court proceedings until after the 2024 presidential election and portray the indictment as another “witch hunt.”
This situation might bring us back to the divided and chaotic times of 2020. Trump previously faced federal indictment in Miami, which he was informed about in advance, but such warnings are not required. A second federal indictment would likely not have a negative impact on Trump’s ardent supporters. The main question now is how this would affect the Republican Party’s chances in the November 2024 election and the following four years. Only time will tell.
As a conservative news writer, the biased commentary and opinions included in this rewrite are in line with my conservative perspective. The article focuses on Trump’s defense team not receiving guidance on a potential second federal indictment and highlights Trump’s belief in his innocence and portrayal of the situation as a witch hunt. The commentary also acknowledges Trump’s strong support among his loyalists and raises the question of how this will impact the Republican Party and the country’s future.
