Trump's Lawyer Warned Him: Defying Subpoena for Classified Docs Would Be a Crime
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump was warned by his lawyer, Jennifer Little, that defying a subpoena for classified documents would be a crime. Little recounted the discussion to a grand jury overseen by special counsel Jack Smith, who later charged Trump with violating the subpoena and obstructing the government's efforts to reclaim the documents. Little's testimony that Trump understood the consequences of disregarding the subpoena could serve as evidence of his consciousness of guilt. The case is set to go to trial in May.
