Former Trump aide Kash Patel will testify before a federal grand jury examining the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after receiving immunity from a federal judge.
will testify before a federal grand jury examining the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after receiving immunity from a federal judge. Sources close to the matter toldthat Patel had received immunity after a federal judge previously ruled that the Justice Department couldn’t question him without granting him safety from future prosecutions.
Patel, who says Trump declassified White House documents when he was president, already appeared before the grand jury last month but invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. That forced the Justice Department to ask a federal judge to compel him to testify, which the judge denied without such immunity.
