    feb 15 2023 WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Department prosecutors investigating the mishandling of classified documents at Donald Trump’s Florida estate are seeking to pierce the attorney-client privilege and want to again question one of the former
    president’s lawyers before a grand jury, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday night.

    The privilege protects lawyers from having to tell prosecutors about confidential conversations their clients have with them. But prosecutors can get around that privilege if they can convince a judge that the communications they want information about
    were made in furtherance of a crime — a principle known as the crime-fraud exception.

    Prosecutors have already questioned M. Evan Corcoran before a grand jury, but he repeatedly invoked attorney-client privilege in declining to answer certain questions, according to the person who spoke with The Associated Press and insisted on anonymity
    to discuss an ongoing investigation. They’re seeking to question him again, and want to be able to move past attorney-client privilege, the person said.

    Attorney client privilege is absolute.

    Unless they were discussing Trump's intent to commit illegal
    acts, or they were conspiring to commit illegal acts, a lawyer cannot
    be forced to wave attorney-client privilege. And the burden to
    support, let alone prove, any such discussion is very hard to reach.
