Former President Donald Trump's head lawyer was ordered to testify Wednesday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit concerning the special counsel's investigation into Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.
A three-judge panel overruled an appeal by Trump's lawyers of a motion telling Evan Corcoran “to comply with the district court’s March 17, 2023, order to produce documents.”
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled Friday that special counsel Jack Smith's office had made a "prima facie showing that the former president had committed criminal violations," allowing for the disregarding of attorney-client privilege.
Corcoran will now be made to testify about six subjects for which he had previously claimed attorney-client privilege.
The six subjects were revealed to ABC News by an inside source.
Here are the six topics that the special counsel is requesting Corcoran to testify on.
1. Trump's response to a May 11 subpoena
2. Zeroing in on the subpoena response
3. Details of Corcoran's search
4. Mar-a-Lago's storage room
5. Who was involved in choosing Bobb as custodian of the documents?
6. June 24 phone call
Trump's team has fervently denied the basis of the special counsel's case against Trump, accusing it of weaponizing the justice system against him.
