Trump attorney appeared before federal grand jury in Mar-a-Lago probe

Source: CNN

Donald Trump attorney Evan Corcoran appeared last month to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington, DC, that’s looking at the former president’s handling of national security records at his Mar-a-Lago residence, a source confirmed to CNN.

Prosecutors asked Corcoran about what had occurred up until the August 8, 2022, search of Mar-a-Lago, which came after investigators found evidence that made them believe classified records kept at the Florida resort were moved and concealed – including questions about his interactions with Trump, another person familiar with the situation said.

The disclosure of Corcoran’s testimony comes amid a steady drip of recent moves by special counsel Jack Smith to obtain grand jury testimony from very close contacts of Trump, in many cases about what Trump was told and what he said at the end of his presidency and afterward.

Corcoran declined to answer some questions in the grand jury that would have divulged his advice to Trump and their conversations, citing attorney-client privilege, the person familiar added. The Justice Department has repeatedly tried in the investigation to force witnesses to answer questions they declined to respond to in the grand jury, but the courts will ultimately have to decide if Corcoran must say more.

I was watching when it was first used (there, anyway). It was on Nicolle Wallace’s show.

in another thread on this that we also need to remember how he didn't want or really have a transition team and how he fought like hell to keep Biden's team from having any access. That wasn't just a temper tantrum.

Ha Ha Ha Next time they certify this (no more doc's) they may want to start the certification with "Once upon a time...".

....no doubt he will try to drag it out with the spurious executive privilege claim.

Anyone heard anything about it yet?

I'm ok with him being immunized if he brings the nails for Trump's criminal career coffin.
