Perhaps Trump will claim that Corcoran is the mastermind for J6.

Trump’s close advisors are looking for a scapegoat to blame for the president’s mishandling of classified documents, and they may have found one in Trump attorney Evan Corcoran.

During a grand jury appearance in January, prosecutors reportedly asked Corcoran questions about events prior to last year’s FBI raid of Trump’s Florida residence of Mar-a-Lago, according to CNN. Corcoran drafted, and fellow Trump attorney Christina Bobb signed, a statement attesting to the government that a “diligent search” had been conducted of the Florida residence in May of 2022 — a statement which the subsequent discovery of classified material during the FBI search has undermined. Corcoran reportedly declined to answer some questions based on his belief that they were protected attorney-client privilege.

But prosecutors have since filed a motion asking a judge in the case to force him to testify based on the crime-fraud exception, which can override attorney-client privilege in cases where an attorney may have assisted a client in the perpetration of a crime.
