Trump's Legal Woes Deepen in Jan. 6 Probe as Judge Orders Aides to Testify.

TL;DR Summary
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig explains two major problems for former President Donald Trump's legal team in their expected appeal of a federal judge's order rejecting claims of executive privilege for several former Trump aides to testify before a grand jury as part of the criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Honig argues that the legal team's appeal is unlikely to succeed due to the lack of a clear legal basis for executive privilege and the fact that the investigation is focused on potential criminal conduct, not just policy decisions.
