TL;DR Summary

A federal appeals court is set to decide whether prosecutors have enough evidence to force one of former President Donald Trump's lawyers to testify to a grand jury and provide documents related to his work for the former president. The legal battle centers on the crime-fraud exception, which allows prosecutors to work around attorney-client privilege when they have reason to believe that legal advice or legal services have been used in furthering a crime. Prosecutors are investigating whether Trump or his associates obstructed justice by failing to comply with repeated demands to return a trove of government materials he took with him from the White House upon leaving office, including hundreds of documents with classified markings.
