The special counsel probing former President Donald Trump's handling of classified material wants one of the ex-president's lawyers to testify before a grand jury under the theory some of their conversations abetted a potential crime.
The effort, first reported by The New York Times, signals an aggressive push by special counsel Jack Smith to find a way around attorney-client privilege that would normally shield conversations between Mr. Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran.
The unfolding matter pivots on statements Mr. Corcoran made in response to subpoenas for the record last year, before a raid on Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. A Trump spokesman characterized the latest effort as a political witch hunt designed to upend Mr. Trump’s 2024 bid.
