An attorney for former U.S. President Donald Trump voluntarily testified before a Washington, D.C., federal grand jury in December 2022 on efforts to find any remaining classified documents at Trump’s properties, the lawyer said on Thursday.
Attorney Tim Parlatore testified as part of a federal criminal investigation into classified documents retained at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Parlatore told Reuters that he appeared before the grand jury to explain to them “everything we did to comply” with a subpoena seeking any classified documents still in Trump’s possession after he left office.
Parlatore said he organized searches of Trump’s properties “to ensure full and legal compliance” with the subpoena for the documents. He also alleged he witnessed prosecutorial misconduct as he appeared before the grand jury. ABC News first reported on Parlatore’s grand jury appearance.
When asked for a comment, a spokesperson for Trump directed Reuters to Parlatore’s remarks. A spokesperson for special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the classified documents investigation, did not immediately return a request for comment.
