"Evidence of a crime": Expert says special counsel filing shows Trump lawyer is "hostile witness"...

Special counsel Jack Smith's team is seeking to compel Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to testify under the crime-fraud exception, which allows the prosecutors to pierce attorney-client privilege claims when they have reason to believe that an attorney is helping to further a crime.

Prosecutors have asked a federal judge to grant the crime-fraud exception, according to The New York Times and other outlets, which suggests former President Donald Trump or his allies may have used Corcoran's services to further a crime.

Corcoran handled Trump's discussions with the Justice Department, meeting with investigators in May and turning over 30 documents in response to a subpoena. Another Trump attorney, Christina Bobb, signed a statement affirming that a "diligent search" determined that Trump no longer had any classified documents before the FBI discovered more than 100 additional classified documents during its August search of Mar-a-Lago.

Bobb has told investigators that Corcoran drafted the statement, according to the Times.
