Trump Lawyer Ordered to Testify in Landmark Documents Inquiry
TL;DR
A federal judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump's lawyer, Evan Corcoran, must provide additional testimony before a federal grand jury investigating Trump's handling of classified documents. The Justice Department requested the testimony on the basis of the crime-fraud exception, which allows for claims of attorney-client privilege to be pierced in cases where it is suspected that a lawyer's legal services were rendered in the commission of a crime. Trump's attorneys are expected to appeal the ruling.
