Three of the former president’s lawyers—John Rowley, James Trusty, and Lindsey Halligan—were spotted by CBS News cameras arriving at the Justice Department building around 10 a.m. They were there to discuss special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s alleged hoarding of classified documents at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago—as well as any attempts Trump may have made to obstruct the investigation.
