Special counsel Jack Smith is seeking to force two attorneys representing former President Donald Trump to testify in the Justice Department's investigation into classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago.
Smith's prosecutors last month sought to compel Trump attorney Evan Corcoran's testimony by asking a judge to grant a crime-fraud exception, which suggests Trump and his allies may have used Corcoran's services to further a crime. Corcoran handled Trump's discussions with the DOJ after investigators sought to recover the documents and drafted a statement affirming that all classified materials had been returned after a "diligent search" — before the FBI discovered more than 100 additional classified documents during its search of Mar-a-Lago last August.
Smith is seeking to compel Corcoran's testimony about an alleged phone call he had with Trump after the government "grew suspicious" that the former president had not actually returned all of the documents, ABC News reported on Thursday.

...""They're casting an extremely wide net – anyone and everyone who might have seen something," a source familiar with the DOJ efforts told CNN.
Goodman told CNN that the resort staff "may be invisible" to Trump but could hold information valuable to investigators.
"They are the eyes and ears, and they can see things," he said. "Or they can know things, might even be somewhat rumor, but then they can at least give the investigators leads, so they can tell the investigators who is present in different conversations."
