Donald Trump Lawyer Notes Could Be Key In Documents Probe – Notes belonging to Donald Trump’s attorney Evan Corcoran could offer a key piece of evidence in the probe of former President Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
What We Know: Donald Trump and Those Notes
Corcoran began working with Trump in May 2022 after the former president received a Justice Department subpoena requesting that classified documents in his possession be returned. The notes also discuss Corcoran’s search of a storeroom at Mar-a-Lago for classified documents in June 2022.
Normally, prosecutors do not have access to a lawyer’s notes due to attorney-client privilege; however, prosecutors won a court order in March to pierce that privilege alleging that it was being used to cover-up criminal activity.
