MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Donald Trump’s lawyers have sought to stop the federal grand jury from summoning his close allies to testify about the former president's alleged efforts to undo the 2020 US election results, CNN reported on Saturday, citing sources.
Trump’s legal team has invoked executive and attorney-client privileges to prevent his former aides and lawyers from appearing as witnesses in a criminal probe into the January 2021 storming of the US Capitol, the report said.
The legal fight is under seal and there is no public record of the court proceedings, according to the Democrat-leaning broadcaster. It reportedly came to light after Trump’s former White House adviser and lawyer Eric Herschmann received a grand jury subpoena. His testimony has been delayed.
Security fencing has been reinstalled around the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021, ahead of a planned Sept. 18 rally by far-right supporters of former President Donald Trump who are demanding the release of rioters arrested in connection with the 6 January insurrection. - Sputnik International, 1920, 01.09.2022
