Special Counsel Jack Smith is taking an aggressive legal strategy in the investigation into former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents, asking a judge to allow prosecutors to invoke the "crime fraud" exception to sidestep attorney-client privilege protections. Prosecutors allege in writing to the judge that Trump used his attorney in furtherance of a crime or fraud, and are now seeking to compel Corcoran to provide additional testimony before a grand jury. The outcome of this motion is still unclear, and its implications for the former president remain to be seen.
