Trump's Legal Woes Escalate as Grand Jury and Court Actions Intensify.

Donald Trump's attorney Evan Corcoran appeared before a federal grand jury investigating the former U.S. president's retention of classified documents after he left the White House in January 2021. Special Counsel Jack Smith is leading the Justice Department's investigation of whether Trump improperly took classified documents as he left office and his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Corcoran sought to block enforcement of the subpoena, citing attorney-client privilege, but a federal judge ruled that attorney-client privilege could not be used to shield Corcoran from complying with the grand jury subpoena.
