Another Prosecutor Is Apparently Racing Toward a Trump Indictment [View all]
On Wednesday, with unusual speed, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit swatted down an attempt by former President Donald Trump to block a lower court order that his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, immediately turn over documents subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s grand jury. Trump could appeal to the Supreme Court, but that wouldn’t go anywhere either, and it appears he has already opted against it.
mith is investigating Trump’s potential national security law violations and obstruction of justice surrounding classified documents that Trump improperly kept at Mar-a-Lago, rather than comply with a May 2022 grand jury subpoena compelling their return.
The documents Corcoran was ordered to disclose Wednesday apparently included attorney notes of conversation between Corcoran and Trump, as well as audio files. Reports suggest that in June 2022, Trump instructed Corcoran to arrange to give the Justice Department a sworn affidavit falsely representing that no further classified documents responsive to the May 2022 subpoena remained at Mar-a-Lago.
Two months later, in August, a court-authorized search of Mar-a-Lago established the affidavit’s falsity. The FBI found more than 100 classified documents at Trump’s country club home.
