OA693: Is It A Good Thing When Your Lawyer Is Subpoenaed by a Grand Jury to Testify Against You? (No.)

Today is a Rapid Response Friday, and Liz and Andrew break down all the developments with the two grand juries convened by Jack Smith to investigate Donald Trump’s various crimes. Oh, and we also analyze the released portions of the Fulton County grand jury report which reveals a bit more than you might think!

We’ve also learned that a bunch of Trump lawyers have been subpoenaed to testify or otherwise the subject of grand jury questions, and you may be wondering how that’s possible, and we walk you through when privilege is.. not privilege!
