Donald Trump's primary defense attorney is testifying before a federal grand jury investigating his client's handling of classified documents. A federal appeals court ordered Evan Corcoran to comply with a subpoena.
A federal appeals court ordered Evan Corcoran, who represents the former president on a host of legal matters, to comply with a grand jury subpoena for areas of inquiry that he had previously asserted attorney-client privilege over.
Smith wants Corcoran to answer questions about a signed certification drafted by him and signed by Trump attorney Christina Bobb that claimed there was a"diligent search" of Mar-a-Lago for classified materials. That certification, which was submitted in response to a May 11 subpoena from the DOJ seeking classified documents in Trump's possession, was later deemed to be false. This, according to ABC News, is what prompted the eventual search of the former president's property.
