In a monumental ruling Friday, a federal judge ordered Donald Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to provide additional testimony as part of an investigation into the former US president's handling of classified documents.
Corcoran has the potential to become one of the most crucial witnesses in special counsel Jack Smith's criminal investigation into possible mishandling of classified records after the Trump presidency and obstruction of justice.
The scope of what DOJ will be allowed to ask, however, was not immediately clear. Trump's team is expected to appeal and ask for the judge's order to be stayed while legal proceedings play out. The development is particularly notable because of accusations prosecutors would have made about Trump as they argued to the judge for the grand jury testimony."Whenever prosecutors target the attorneys, that's usually a good indication their underlying case is very weak. If they had a real case, they wouldn't need to play corrupt games with the Constitution.
Howell's ruling is one of her last on sealed grand jury disputes as chief judge. The Obama appointee has repeatedly green-lit Justice Department requests to pursue information about Trump's actions during her tenure as chief of the DC District Court, but she rotates out of the administrative role on Friday.
