A federal grand jury will meet this week in Florida to hear evidence in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

It is not clear how the court proceedings in Florida relate to the work of a separate grand jury in Washington, where prosecutors had been presenting evidence and witness testimony for months. The development was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Why prosecutors have impaneled multiple grand juries, and whether they are ready to seek an indictment in either jurisdiction is unknown. The Justice Department declined to comment on the investigation.

Three members of Trump's legal team met Monday with Smith and other officials at the Justice Department, a person familiar with the matter said. Neither Attorney General Merrick Garland nor Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco were present, NBC News confirmed.

1. It was explained by many legal pundits that it could be for those who

are part of the crimes committed in Florida, such as the maintenance man and Trump's other employee that moved the boxes in and out of the basement and any others whose crimes were performed in Florida only. Hard to know for sure until the indictments are handed down.

I think it's safe to guess the outcome of all that hard work.
