A federal appeals court rejected Former President Donald Trump’s stay request, requiring his attorney Evan Corcoran to testify in the special counsel’s documents probe.The rejection backs a grand jury subpoena issued by special counsel Jack Smith. The ruling was made in a notably swift fashion by a panel of three Obama appointees on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Corcoran had previously cited Attorney-Client Privilege as a means of blocking the special counsel from requiring him to testify or provide documents pertaining to his communications with Trump. D.C. District Court Judge Beryl Howell determined the DOJ had presented enough evidence pointing to Corcoran’s legal advice leading to the furtherance of a crime, a crime-fraud exception that pierces his ACP rights.
