Trump Lawyer Ordered to Testify in Documents Inquiry.

A federal judge has ruled that prosecutors investigating former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents can pierce assertions of attorney-client privilege and compel one of his lawyers, M. Evan Corcoran, to answer more questions before a grand jury. The judge found that the government had met the threshold for the crime-fraud exception, which allows prosecutors to work around attorney-client privilege when they have reason to believe that legal advice or legal services have been used in furthering a crime. The Justice Department has been examining whether Trump or his associates obstructed justice by failing to comply with repeated demands to return a trove of government material he took with him from the White House upon leaving office, including hundreds of documents with classified markings.
