Trump Claims Jack Smith Couldn't File Updated Indictment Before Election -- Here's Why That's False
www.forbes.com
... Former President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that Special Counsel Jack Smith shouldn't be allowed to file an updated indictment against him in his federal election case so soon before the election, citing the Justice Department's "60-day rule""but that rule doesn't apply here, particularly as Smith brought the indictment long enough before the election. ...
--- The DOJ has long had an informal rule in place advising prosecutors not to take big steps in investigations"like bringing new indictments"within 60 days of an election if it could impact the results at all, which stems from a DOJ statute saying, "Federal prosecutors and agents may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election."

Trump's probation officials meeting was cordial, routine: Sources (June 2024)
abcnews.go.com
... Former President Donald Trump's interview Monday with New York City probation officials lasted just under a half-hour, sources familiar with it told ABC News.
Trump participated in the interview remotely from Mar-a-Lago.
His defense attorney, Todd Blanche, was with him. Unlike most defendants, Trump was given permission to be accompanied by counsel.
The sources described the interview as cordial and routine. Trump was not asked anything surprising.
The New York City Probation Department will now prepare a report for Judge Juan Merchan ahead of Trump's July 11 sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The report is supposed to include, among other things, Trump's description of his crime, whether he expressed remorse and any statements he wished to make about why he did it. ...
Trump's speech last night to supporters at an arena in Milwaukee. Wow!
(his comment "no one did anything" before him about pandemics?" HE closed the office for pandemic response Obama set up!)
this speech Trump is delivering right now in Milwaukee is the lowest energy speech I have ever heard from him. Here's a more than 2 minute clip where he gets 0 response from the crowd other than a stray cough here and there pic.twitter.com/upkVgTsj7R
