TL;DR Summary

A federal judge has ruled that Evan Corcoran, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, must testify before a grand jury about Trump's possession of classified documents after leaving office. Corcoran had refused to answer investigators' questions, citing attorney-client privilege, but the judge agreed with prosecutors that there were grounds for a "crime-fraud exception." The scope of the questions Corcoran must answer is not yet clear, and Trump's team is expected to appeal the decision. The investigation is looking into whether Trump or anyone around him mishandled classified documents or obstructed efforts to retrieve them.
