Special Counsel Jack Smith is arguing that Evan Corcoran, a lawyer involved in Trump's classified documents case, is not protected by attorney-client privilege.
Corcoran appeared before a grand jury in January and testified for about four hours, butinvoked attorney-client privilege to avoid answering certain questions about his conversations with Trump. If prosecutors can make the case that those conversations helped further a crime, they could force Corcoran to answer.
It remains to be seen what comes of the case. As Moss said on MSNBC Tuesday, the DOJ does have a “high bar to meet” in erasing Corcoran’s attorney-client privilege claims. And Smith’s investigations remain fraught with challenges, as former Vice Presidentplans to challenge a subpoena in the insurrection probe have underscored.
