Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline A federal judge overseeing a legal battle between the Department of Justice and former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents said prosecutors have gathered enough evidence to show Trump “intentionally concealed” his knowledge of a trove of classified records from his attorneys, according to ABC News , in the latest legal blow for the ex-president as he faces a separate potential indictment in New York. Key Facts D.C. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled last week that special counsel Jack Smith’s office made a “prima facie showing that the former president had committed criminal violations” by allegedly lying to attorney Evan Corcoran about the records, ABC News reported, citing sources with knowledge of the sealed filing.

Weeks into his new job as Manhattan district attorney last year, Alvin Bragg faced a firestorm: Two senior prosecutors heading the office’s four-year investigation of Donald Trump wanted an immediate indictment of the former president. Bragg told them the case wasn’t ready. The men quit in frustration, and it quickly spread that Bragg was abandoning the Trump investigation. It was a disastrous start to Bragg’s tenure at One Hogan Place.

Trump has already decried the investigation as a political witch hunt, labeling Bragg, who is Black, a “racist” and urging his supporters to protest any attempt to arrest and prosecute him. New York City is already bracing for what would be an unprecedented and tense … [Read more...] about Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, a ‘careful lawyer,’ poised to bring charges against Trump

Key Facts The threat came in just as a judge at state civil court was preparing to begin the hearing in the Trump case, according to Bloomberg , but court spokesman Lucian Chalfen told Forbes there’s “no indication” the threat was directly related to the Trump case. The courthouse at 60 Centre Street—where the hearing was being held—was shut down and searched for around half an hour before proceedings resumed, Chalfen said, including the Trump hearing.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Trump attorney Evan Corcoran testified Friday in the Mar-A-Lago classified documents case, after he was ordered to share information with the grand jury that would otherwise be shielded under attorney-client privilege—a development that could have damaging implications for former President Donald Trump. Key Facts Corcoran was ordered to provide further testimony and records to the grand jury after he initially declined to answer questions when he first appeared in February, as courts ruled a “crime-fraud exception” applied that overrules attorney-client privilege—meaning there’s evidence to suggest those communications were used to help Trump commit a crime. The Justice Department is investigating Trump after federal investigators recovered hundreds of classified White House documents from Mar-A-Lago , both to determine whether Trump violated federal statutes around the handling of government … [Read more...] about Key Trump Attorney Testifying In Mar-A-Lago Case Friday—Here’s Why It Could Be A Big Deal
