Trump's Attorney Ordered to Testify on Classified Documents by Judge.
TL;DR
Donald Trump's attorney, Evan Corcoran, has been ordered by a federal judge to testify before a grand jury in Washington, D.C. investigating the former president's retention of documents with classified markings. Corcoran previously refused to answer questions from investigators about his conversations with Trump over attorney-client privilege concerns. The judge ruled that the "crime-fraud exception" be applied to Corcoran's testimony on a specific set of questions. Trump is likely to appeal the ruling to a federal appeals court.
