Lawyer Warned Trump: Lying About Docs Is A Crime

ABC News reports:

One of former president Donald Trump’s current attorneys told special counsel Jack Smith’s team that, within days of the Justice Department issuing a subpoena last year for all classified documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, she “very clearly” warned Trump that if he failed to fully comply — but then swore he did — “it’s going to be a crime,” according to sources familiar with the matter.

Sources said the lawyer, Jennifer Little, told investigators Trump “absolutely” understood the warning, which came during a pivotal meeting at Mar-a-Lago with Trump and another attorney, Evan Corcoran, who had recently joined Trump’s legal team. Little allegedly recalled to investigators that she tried to impress upon Trump how “serious” the matter had become, with sources quoting her as telling investigators that she warned Trump, “You’ve got to comply.”
