Justice Department investigators probing former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents after leaving office have asked a judge to overrule attorney-client privilege and compel one of Trump’s attorneys to appear before a grand jury, multiple sources have confirmed to ABC News.
The DOJ is making the request on the basis of the crime-fraud exception, sources said, which allows for attorney-client privilege to be suspended in cases where it is suspected that legal services were rendered in the commission of a crime.
