BALTIMORE — Despite once calling Baltimore a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess,” former President Donald Trump has turned to a Charm City lawyer to aid his defense as the U.S. Department of Justice’s criminal probe into him continues.
Trump hired attorney M. Evan Corcoran, a partner at the Inner Harbor firm Silverman, Thompson, Slutkin & White, earlier this year, and Corcoran is one of the key figures in the former president’s battle over hundreds of classified and top-secret papers FBI agents seized from his Florida country club earlier this month.
A May 10 letter from acting U.S. archivist Debra Steidel Wall to Corcoran revealed Trump took more than 700 pages of documents, including papers with information about covert intelligence operations, with him to Florida after leaving the White House in January 2021. Some of the documents, Steidel Wall wrote, were of the “highest levels of classification.”
