The federal judge overseeing former President Donald J. Trump's classified documents case intends to review the legal victory prosecutors achieved last year regarding the attorney-client privilege, which played a significant role in the obstruction charges against Mr. Trump.
The judge's decision to potentially revisit the crime-fraud exception could impact the obstruction charges against Mr. Trump and align with his defense strategy of delaying the trial. The ruling could significantly affect the indictment's progress.
A sealed hearing held by Mr. Trump's lawyers and prosecutors discussed the potential for a new legal proceeding on the crime-fraud exception. Prosecutors were concerned about the added complexities and the impact on witnesses.
