Trump's Legal Woes Deepen as Special Counsel Investigates Fundraising and Payment for Lawyers.

Federal prosecutors investigating former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents are pressing witnesses for details about their attorneys, including whether any of them have attempted to influence testimony in order to protect the former president. The line of questioning about Trump-provided attorneys suggests prosecutors are looking at any efforts by the former president to keep control over more than two dozen Mar-a-Lago staffers and political aides who have become central witnesses in recent months, and whose legal bills are paid by Trump. Investigators working for special counsel Jack Smith are exploring multiple facets of a possible obstruction case, and that could include whether testimony has been improperly influenced and coordinated within Trump’s legal network.
