Early Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump talked up the „productive meeting“ he said his legal team had had that morning with the DOJ, which had many buzzing about a possibly soon-to-come indictment in special counsel Jack Smith’s probe of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, per the Hill. That indictment didn’t come to pass.

„It’s election interference at the highest level,“ Trump told Fox News Digital after the new charges—which include two new obstruction counts and an additional count of willful retention of national defense information—were announced.
