Lawyer Evan Corcoran is a key piece of the puzzle.
on Friday, his advisers were shocked at the degree to which investigators have made the former president’s own defense lawyer the No. 1 government witness to prove Trump committed a coverup, according to two people briefed on the matter.
But the importance of Corcoran’s role in the case, these sources said, is already setting into motion a plan to use the Florida federal court district’sof a MAGA-loyal judge to essentially reverse time—by undoing the D.C. judge’s decision to hand over Corcoran’s notes. If it works, one source told The Daily Beast, Corcoran could be “totally in the clear,” providing a narrow boost for Trump in court—but nowhere near saving the former president entirely.
On May 11 last year, the grand jury sent over a subpoena demanding that “The Office of Donald J. Trump” turn over all documents with classification markings: national secrets, spy material, war plans—everything. That same day, May 23, 2022, Trump also leaned into the same complaint he’s had for years: how former presidential rival Hillary Clinton was never formally punished when thousands of her emails were deleted after they had been subpoenaed by Republicans on the congressional committee investigating the Benghazi attack that occurred during her tenure as Secretary of State.
Timothy Parlatore, a defense attorney who recently left Trump’s legal team, told The Daily Beast that the indictment is a stark accusation of serious misconduct.
