Trump attorney and Mar-a-Lago staff subpoenaed in classified documents probe.

TL;DR Summary
Special counsel Jack Smith is seeking to question former President Donald Trump's lawyer, Evan Corcoran, about an alleged conversation between Trump and Corcoran regarding the handling of subpoenas for classified documents. Corcoran has refused to answer questions, citing attorney-client privilege, but prosecutors are seeking to use the "crime-fraud exception" to compel his testimony. The investigation includes Trump's handling of sensitive government documents and possible obstruction of efforts to retrieve them, as well as efforts to interfere in the 2020 election. Trump denies wrongdoing and has not been charged.
