A DC Circuit Appeals Court set an “unprecedented” schedule Tuesday night surrounding Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago classified documents case, requiring answers from Trump attorneys by midnight and a reply from The Department of Justice just hours later, at 6:00 a.m.
The move concerns Trump attorney Evan Corcoran, who last week special counsel Jack Smith requested appear before a grand jury. Smith did so despite Corcoran’s attorney-client privileges—which are sometimes wiped under cases of crime or fraud.
On Friday, Judge Beryl Howell ruled in favor of wiping said privileges, forcing Corcoran to appear before a federal grand jury investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents.
