Will Donald Trump end up regretting this move?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New reports indicate the former president rejected his attorney’s idea to approach the Justice Department (DOJ) with a settlement offer in the contentious classified documents case to avoid potential charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Three unidentified sources briefed on the matter told the Post that Christopher Kise proposed quietly approaching the DOJ to reach an agreement that would include the promised return of all remaining documents in Trump\u2019s possession and no indictment. Kise reportedly wanted to try to \u201ctake the temperature down\u201d and hoped that the DOJ would agree to avoid indicting a former president.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Post reported that the offer was one of several times in which the former president\u2019s attorneys tried to get him to cooperate with the investigation into the classified and sensitive documents kept at his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Fla., after his presidency ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven unidentified Trump advisers with knowledge of the investigation told the Post that the former president told his advisers that the boxes of documents only contained newspaper clippings and clothes and ignored warnings from them about pending legal issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, other attorneys reportedly pushed Trump to take a harsh stance against the investigation and Kisa ultimately never approached the DOJ with the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Months later Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as the special counsel to oversee the investigation. Last week, a 37-count indictment was filed against Trump, making him the first former president to face federal charges.\u00a0The indictment includes 31 counts of the willful retention of documents in violation of the Espionage Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told the Post that Trump told the DOJ, \u201cyou need anything from us, just let us know.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cSadly, the weaponized DOJ rejected this offer of cooperation and conducted an unnecessary and unconstitutional raid on the President\u2019s home in order to inflict maximum political damage on the leading presidential candidate,\u201d Cheung said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
