Evan Corcoran's appearance comes a day after another attorney for the former president confirmed he, too, testified in the special counsel's investigation.
Evan Corcoran was spotted in the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., on Friday, ahead of his expected testimony, and made his way to the area of the building where grand juries hear testimony. These proceedings are sealed from public view under federal law.
The special counsel likely sees Corcoran not as a potential subject of the criminal probe, but as a possible witness in the events leading up to and following the execution of anin August that resulted in the seizure of more than 100 documents marked classified. Trump has consistently maintained his innocence in the classified documents probe and other federal investigations. A spokesperson for the former president did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"I voluntarily and happily chose to go into the grand jury so that I could present my client's case to them in the context of our search efforts," Parlatore said in a statement,"During my testimony, it was clear that the government was not acting appropriately and made several improper attempts to pierce privilege and, in my opinion, made several significant misstatements to the jury which I believe constitutes prosecutorial misconduct.
