Trump attorney ordered to testify in Mar-a-Lago documents probe
A federal judge ordered Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to testify before the grand jury assembled to review the mishandling of White House records at Mar-a-Lago, multiple outlets reported Friday.
In a sealed ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell, she found sufficient evidence that Corcoran’s legal advice was given in furtherance of a crime, one of the few determinations that can compel an attorney to discuss communications that would otherwise be covered by attorney-client privilege.
The development is a significant win for special counsel Jack Smith and could make Corcoran a key witness as prosecutors advance an investigation into more than 300 classified records discovered in Trump’s Florida home.
In a warrant to search the property, prosecutors said their removal to Mar-a-Lago could violate the Espionage Act, which prohibits removing or concealing national defense information.
Neither Corcoran or his attorney immediately responded to request for comment.
Corcoran has been representing Trump in his dealings with the Justice Department for the bulk of the time the department has sought the return of the documents.
The repeated attempts to secure them included a June subpoena for the records, with Cororan then handing over a folder with some 38 documents.
Corcoran is also reported to have been the attorney who drafted a letter certifying that all remaining records with classified markings at Mar-a-Lago had been returned, but the letter was ultimately signed by another attorney, Christina Bobb. She reportedly insisted on adding language that said all records had been returned “based upon the information that has been provided to me.”
The Trump campaign dismissed the move as interference with the right to an attorney and attacked Howell, an Obama appointee whose decision comes as she is stepping down as chief judge.
“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. Every American has the right to consult with counsel and have candid discussions — this promotes adherence to the law. We will fight the Department of Justice on this front and all others that jeopardize fundamental American rights and values,” a Trump spokesperson said in a statement.
“Interfering with Americans’ right to an attorney is a serious and weighty matter. For a judge to do so in violation of due process, without allowing for any real hearing, and within a few hours of her expiration date – as chief judge supervising the grand jury – is unAmerican and unacceptable.”
The remarkable decision from Howell, however, indicates prosecutors were able to supply sufficient evidence that Corcoran’s behavior meets the threshold for the crime-fraud exception, opening the door to a second interview.
Corcoran has already appeared before the grand jury in the case, but declined to answer numerous questions, citing attorney-client privilege.
It’s not the first time a judge has found one of Trump’s attorneys may have violated the law in the course of giving legal advice.
A California-based federal judge determined in March last year that John Eastman and Trump more likely than not committed crimes in their effort to keep the former president in power.
Eastman crafted memos for the Trump campaign arguing that then-Vice President Pence could buck his duty to certify the election results.
He is now facing disciplinary action from the California State Bar that could result in the loss of his law license.

Trump attorney says ‘there won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago’ if he’s indicted in NY
An attorney for Donald Trump says the former president would not refuse to surrender to authorities if he is indicted in the Manhattan district attorney’s probe into a hush-money deal from his 2016 presidential run.
“There won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago with Secret Service and the Manhattan DA’s office,” Joe Tacopina told The New York Daily News.
Tacopina said Trump, whom he described as a survivor, would find a way to use any charges filed against him to help him politically in the end.
“Most people would collapse under the weight of this,” he said. “He seems to turn everything into a positive and everything into a boost for his campaign, so I’m sure this will just join that long list of things that people think no one could overcome, but he will.”
Tacopina’s comments comes as Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg appears to be close to making a decision about whether to charge Trump in his investigation into the hush-money payment that was made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels for her to stay quiet ahead of the 2016 presidential election about an affair she says she and Trump had.
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who testified before the grand jury in the probe earlier this week, pleaded guilty in 2018 to multiple charges including a campaign finance violation for a $130,000 payment he made to Daniels. Cohen, who served more than a year in prison, has said he made the payment at Trump’s direction.
Daniels met with Manhattan prosecutors leading the investigation on Wednesday.
Trump has admitted to reimbursing Cohen for the payment but says it was not related to his campaign funds. The Trump Organization declared the payment reimbursing Cohen to be a legal expense.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung blasted Bragg in a statement on Thursday, asserting that Trump is “completely innocent.” He alleged that the probe was politically motivated and would backfire “massively” on Democrats.
Trump was invited to appear before the grand jury himself, another sign of an impending decision on whether charges will be filed, but he declined to testify.

I think Donald believes it and should have a Helluva weekend trying to pump his ss detail for news. They will go from being his bodyguards to being his jail guards, following the judge's instructions. They are lining up all the pieces in NY, so we will see next week, all the usual suspects are quite certain it's going down. They say he will be fingerprinted and mugshot, I wonder if we will see his mugshot posted on twitter.

NY authorities preparing for Trump indictment; Trump's lawyers says Trump will turn himself in
14,616 views Mar 17, 2023 #TeamJustice
Three stories broke in rapid succession that make clear - it's been a really bad 24 hours for former President Donald Trump.
First, New York City law enforcement authorities have been making security preparations for Donald Trump, anticipating he will be indicted next week. Trump's defense attorney announced that Donald Trump will self-surrender/ voluntarily turn himself in to authorities once he's indicted.
And in the biggest development, Chief Judge Beryl Howell orders Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to testify to the grand jury because the attoreny-client relationship falls as a result of the crime fraud exception. In other words, Trump used his lawyer to facilitate his (Trump's) criminal conduct.
This video takes on what happens once attorney Corcoran appears before the grand jury.
