Trump’s Own Lawyers Could Be Forced to Testify Against Him in Special Counsel Case

A top federal judge ruled that some of Donald Trump’s attorney-client privileges could be “pierced” after prosecutors for the special counsel investigating the former president found he intentionally misled his own attorneys about keeping classified materials when he left office. As a result, two of Trump’s lawyers could now be forced to testify against him.

U.S. Judge Beryl Howell wrote in a sealed court filing Friday that Smith’s team had found preliminary evidence that showed “the former president had committed criminal violations,” ABC News reported. Howell, who stepped down Friday as the chief judge for the D.C. district court, found prosecutors had “sufficient” evidence that Trump “intentionally concealed” many of the classified documents from his own legal team.

If Trump was trying to “intentionally conceal" those classified documents why did he reveal that he had them by giving them to NARA?

He didn't give them to NARA.

Trump refused to turn over those documents even after NARA requested them for several months. That's why the FBI had to raid Trump's home.

No reasonable lawyers would have believed that anything Trump says is literal factual news reporting. Trump merely expresses opinions to keep his ratings up.

That is not true.

NARA never asked the FBI to raid Trump's place.
NARA never had a problem with Trump until he gave NARA the boxes containing classified documents. Trump outed himself to NARA by giving NARA the documents. Nobody outed Trump but himself and that is a fact.

If he was trying to hide the documents why didn't he remove the classified documents from the 9 boxes he willingly let NARA have? Up until then NARA said Trump was fully cooperating with NARA. He was. That is exactly why NARA found the documents. Trump let NARA have them within those 9 boxes of documents.
