The Recorded Recollections of Donald Trump's Lawyer

The New York Times reports that last year, during a long drive to a family event, Evan Corcoran recorded his reflections about his job representing Trump and the investigation into his handling of classified documents. The level of detail in the recording is said to have angered and unnerved close aides to Mr. Trump. Last March, a federal judge ordered Corcoran's recordings to be given to the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith. That decision, setting aside what is known as the crime fraud exception, pierced the privilege that would have normally protected such musings.
