BREAKING: Massive Change In Trump Case - Trial Shaken

Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and there has been a massive

change in Trump's classified documents case. It's really going to shake the case to its core

Before we get started please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe. Those little things

really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. Former President Donald Trump

has been dealt a pretty serious blow as one of his attorneys has left his other federal cases

because apparently word is he's going to be a witness against Donald Trump in the upcoming

classified documents case should it happen. Now this attorney took really a lot of detailed notes

about what happened with the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and this is somebody Jack Smith

really really wants to get after. I'm not going to bore you with a bunch of stuff about this that

you know is getting in the weeds. I want you to watch this report on it and let me know what

you think when you like, comment, share and subscribe. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America

We love you guys. God bless you. Take care everybody. I've got some breaking news for

you tonight. I've been speaking with sources and can now report a key attorney has left Donald

Trump's legal team. That lawyer happens to be a major witness in the classified documents case

against him. Tonight I've learned that Evan Corcoran has quietly departed Trump's legal team

This matters because Corcoran is potentially going to be a critical witness against Trump

if that case ever goes to trial. He was the one who went through the storage room at Mar-a-Lago

about two summers ago looking for classified documents after they received a subpoena from

the Justice Department. Trump allegedly misled him about the whereabouts of those documents

and also encouraged him, his attorney, to lie to the Justice Department. Remember

Corcoran actually had to go and testify before a grand jury investigating the case

after a judge ruled that he couldn't use attorney-client privilege to shield from investigators

the meticulous notes that he had taken about his interactions with Donald Trump

As we later saw, those notes helped lay the groundwork for prosecutors to indict Trump

referring to Corcoran as Trump attorney number one 20 times in that indictment

If the documents case ever goes to trial, and that's a major question tonight

Corcoran would likely be a key witness for the prosecution. Even though he ultimately

recused himself from representing Trump in that case, he had stayed on for a bit in the other

federal case against Trump, the one for election interference. If you'll remember

he was there alongside Trump when he was arraigned in Washington last fall

That is no longer the case, though, I have heard, and here's why this matters tonight

It's Corcoran's role as a witness in the documents probe that could pose the biggest

problem for Donald Trump. Corcoran recorded voice memos that turned into detailed notes

about his conversations with the former president, including instances where Trump suggested that he

should mislead the Justice Department. There was that unforgettable moment that was detailed in

the indictment from the special counsel, Jack Smith, after Evan Corcoran had found some classified

documents at Mar-a-Lago, about 38 of them. They were discussing what to do with them

Evan Corcoran and Donald Trump, when the former president asked him, quote

did you find anything? Is it bad? Good. According to Corcoran's notes, Trump made a plucking motion

during the conversation, which Evan Corcoran took to mean, okay, why don't you take them with you to

your hotel room, and if there's anything really bad in there, like, you know, pluck it out

Of course, as we all know now, and from that indictment, a few months later, the FBI showed back up at Mar-a-Lago with a search warrant
