The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has stayed an order that would have compelled Evan Corcoran to testify again about the former president’s handling of the classified documents.
Joe Tacopina, Trump attorney in the New York case discusses the former President Donald Trump's looming indictment on 'Hannity.'handling of classified documents continues to escalate while the Manhattan District Attorney's Office weighs whether to indict the 2024 GOP presidential hopeful on a separate legal matter.
The court's decision comes after Howell – whose role as chief judge expired over the weekend when the rotating position was given to Judge James Boasberg – sided with federal investigators and issued an order last week moving Corcoran to testify in detail about conversations he had with Trump over documents later seized by the FBI at his Mar-A-Lago Florida estate last summer.
Sources say Corcoran had initially refused to speak with the federal grand jury about several crucial matters. Special Counsel Jack Smith then asked Howell to decide whether the"crime-fraud" exception to attorney-client privilege could compel Corcoran’s further testimony. That testimony exception would apply to alleged conversations related to a possible plan to commit a crime.
