At least two dozen people – from Mar-a-Lago resort staff to members of Donald Trump’s inner circle at the Florida estate – have been subpoenaed to testify to a federal grand jury that’s investigating the former president’s handling of classified documents, multiple sources familiar with the investigation told CNN......

Smith has sought testimony from a range of people close to Trump – from his own attorneys who represent him in the matter to staffers who work on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago, including a housekeeper and restaurant servers, sources said.....

Meanwhile, Smith continues to pursue Trump defense lawyer Evan Corcoran. In an earlier appearance before the grand jury, Corcoran declined to answer questions about his conversations with Trump related to the classified documents, citing attorney-client privilege. Prosecutors are asking a judge to find that he must answer because the conversations may have been part of advancing a crime or fraud.

A ruling is expected from the DC District Court on Corcoran as early as this week.

2. Much of the staff working there are on temporary worker visas and go back to their country of

origin as soon as season is over with. Easter is pretty much it. Hope they got what they were looking for.

Trump employees at Mar-a-Lago have been hit with subpoenas on a continuous basis since last year, bringing total number of subpoenaed staff — including wait staff and maids — to around two dozen, sources say confirming CNN. But there has not been a sudden new batch of subpoenas.
