A federal judge declined to hold former President Donald Trump and his legal team in contempt of court on Friday over a failure to comply with a subpoena for classified documents, according to reports.
The Justice Department had urged Chief Judge Beryl Howell to hold Trump’s team in contempt for failing to fully comply with a May subpoena directed to Trump’s custodian of records.
ABC News was first to report the outcome of a closed-door court hearing on Friday, in which Judge Howell told DOJ lawyers and Trump attorneys to work together to resolve the issue. Two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the outlet’s reporting to CNN and said the hearing lasted nearly 90 minutes.
