A Trump attorney, Evan Corcoran, has been ordered by a federal judge to provide additional testimony as part of an investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents.
District Judge Beryl Howell said in an order under seal that Justice Department prosecutors have met the threshold for the crime-fraud exception for Corcoran.
This decision hands Trump yet another loss in court as his team and allies have tried to hold off special counsel Jack Smith’s investigators from learning about direct conversations the former president had with some of his closest advisers.
