Special counsel Jack Smith's team has reportedly bolstered its interest in an infamous Oval Office meeting held at the eleventh hour of Trump's presidency, during which the former president fielded proposals of desperate methods to keep him in office despite his White House counsel's objections.
Investigators have questioned witnesses before the grand jury and during interviews about the meeting, which occurred six weeks after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, multiple sources told CNN. Some witnesses were initially asked about the meeting several months ago. Others, like Rudy Giuliani, were questioned about the meeting more recently. Giuliani, in particular, conferred with investigators for two days last month in a voluntary interview about an array of topics, including the December 18, 2020 meeting he attended, CNN's sources said.
