A federal judge in Washington won’t release records about the secret court fight prosecutors waged to force one of Donald Trump’s lawyers to testify and turn over documents in the criminal probe into the former president’s handling of classified information.
In an opinion released Friday, US District Chief Judge James Boasberg wrote that nothing in the Florida federal indictment against Trump or in public statements from Special Counsel John “Jack” Smith’s office confirmed enough details to justify releasing information about sealed grand jury proceedings.
Corcoran appeared twice before the grand jury in Washington, first at the beginning of the year and again on March 24, after a federal appeals court declined to intervene. After the charges were first filed in June, three media outlets — CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post — petitioned Boasberg to unseal any records related to attorney-client privilege fights. A lawyer for the media coalition was not immediately reached for comment.
