Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing, and existing Justice Department policy says he can’t be indicted while he’s a sitting president. ADThe Justice Department has said the effort included trying to arrange a golf outing between Trump and the then-Malaysian prime minister. The White House has denied the probe was discussed. Previous government documents and sources indicate Broidy claimed to have discussed the 1MDB case with Trump during an Oval Office meeting in 2017. White House lawyers agreed that extradition, which was opposed by the Justice Department, would not be appropriate, according to the official.
