U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell’s unsealed opinion reveals that former President Donald Trump’s attorneys found classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago bedroom, suggesting Trump concealed them despite claims of returning all sensitive materials.
The opinion allowed questioning of Trump’s attorney, Evan Corcoran, breaching typical attorney-client privilege due to evidence of Trump’s knowledge of the concealment.
The FBI’s search uncovered more classified documents, with Howell expressing disbelief at their presence in Trump’s quarters. The opinion is part of a larger release of grand jury documents related to Trump’s retention of classified information post-presidency.
Trump’s conduct has been criticized, but he has used Howell’s opinion to allege prosecutorial misconduct. The case continues, with a hearing scheduled and the trial expected to be delayed until late summer or later.
