Attorneys for former President Donald Trump could be in a bind following a report saying the Department of Justice (DOJ) is pushing to hold Trump’s team in contempt of court, accusing it of violating a subpoena.
The contempt request was reportedly made, in part, because none of Trump’s attorneys or advisers are currently willing to accept the legal responsibility of being a custodian of records for the former president.
Legal experts weighed in on the possibility that Trump’s team could soon be facing contempt charges, with some pointing out that his lawyers could be in a particularly vulnerable position.
