Legal experts responding to news Donald Trump's legal team Monday morning walked into the U.S. Dept. of Justice agree it likely means Special Counsel Jack Smith is nearing a charging decision, but warn it could also mean the ex-president, under criminal investigation for unlawful handling of classified documents, among other possibly unlawful acts, might be offered a plea deal to avoid serving time in prison.

Attorney Norm Pattis will defend a second member of the Proud Boys against charges stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Pattis notified the court this month that he will be representing Zach Rehl. The attorney already works for fellow Proud Boy Joe Biggs.
