Top ex-WH lawyers testify to Jan. 6 criminal grand jury in major blow to Trump

Two top ex-White House lawyers testified Friday to one or more grand juries after former President Donald Trump lost a secret court battle to muzzle them.

In a major blow to Trump, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and deputy counsel Pat Philben appeared for hours to answer questions that they had dodged in previous sessions before the former president’s privilege claims were rejected.

It’s not known whether the lawyers were asked about the top secret documents that Trump improperly took with him when he left the White House or his plot to stay in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
