Trump’s lawyer cautioned about repercussions for failing to comply with classified documents subpoena, according to a report
An Attorney’s Warning to Trump: Comply or Face the Consequences
An attorney representing former President Donald Trump reportedly delivered a stern message to him last year, cautioning that failure to comply with a subpoena in a classified documents case would constitute a crime. According to ABC News, Jennifer Little, one of Trump’s attorneys, made it abundantly clear to special counsel Jack Smith that there would be legal ramifications if Trump did not surrender all classified documents at Mar-a-Lago as requested by the Justice Department.
Little emphasized to Trump that the Justice Department subpoena differed from a previous request he had received from the National Archives. She ensured that Trump fully grasped the gravity of the situation, and he reportedly acknowledged her warning.
Indictment Alleges Noncompliance and Obstruction
The indictment against Trump alleges that he failed to fully comply with the subpoena and even attempted to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation. However, Trump and his co-defendants have all pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Little initially joined Trump’s legal team in March 2021 to assist with a case in Fulton County, Georgia. However, her involvement expanded to encompass other legal matters as well.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Little’s law firm for comment, while Smith’s office declined to provide any statements regarding the situation.
