Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally, on June 22, at Temple University in Philadelphia.The federal judge presiding over the classified documents case of former president Donald Trump granted a defence request for a hearing on whether prosecutors improperly breached attorney-client privilege when they obtained crucial evidence from one of his ex-lawyers.
The order amounts to a mixed result for both sides and ensures further delays in a criminal case that has already been snarled by significant postponements, resulting in the indefinite postponement of a trial that had been set to begin on May 20 in Fort Pierce, Fla. But Cannon sided with prosecutor Jack Smith’s team in finding that neither that nor any other of the alleged omissions raised by the defence had any bearing on whether or not prosecutors had sufficient probable cause to search the property.
But her order was not a complete win for the government as she said she would schedule a separate hearing to consider the question of whether prosecutors had improperly obtained the cooperation of Trump’s lawyers through an exception to attorney-client privilege.
