Photo: Eric Gay/Associated PressWASHINGTON—A federal appeals-court panel sharply questioned prosecutors and Donald Trump’s defense lawyers alike on Monday as it weighs whether to affirm restrictions on what the former president can say about his election-interference case. The hearing before a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was the latest clash between Trump’s lawyers and special counsel Jack Smith ’s team over a gag order issued last month by Trump’s trial judge, Tanya Chutkan .

WASHINGTON—A federal judge found that special counsel Jack Smith ’s team presented convincing evidence that President Donald Trump misled his own lawyers about his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House, according to people familiar with the decision. Judge Beryl Howell made that finding Friday in a sealed decision siding with federal prosecutors in their bid to bypass attorney-client privilege claims raised by one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Evan Corcoran , and compel him to provide more testimony. Judge Howell wrote that prosecutors had made a “prima facie showing that the former president had committed criminal violations,” the people said.

WASHINGTON—A federal judge is set to hear arguments Thursday over special counsel Jack Smith ’s push to extract more grand-jury testimony from a lawyer for Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the escalating investigation into the handling of classified documents at the former president’s South Florida estate. In a closed-door court proceeding, Mr. Smith’s team is expected to urge Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the District Court for the District of Columbia to reject attorney-client privilege claims that Evan Corcoran , a lawyer for Mr. Trump, raised on behalf of the former president during a January grand-jury appearance. Following that appearance, prosecutors asked Judge Howell to invoke the so-called crime-fraud exception to bypass the privilege claims and compel Mr. Corcoran to provide more testimony, the people said.
☆ Mike Pence for the Constitution—Again

On Jan. 6, 2021, Mike Pence stood up for the Constitution against Donald Trump, and he has paid for it politically with MAGA Republicans. Now the former Vice President is defending the Constitution again in resisting special counsel Jack Smith ’s subpoena, and this time the left is attacking him. His stand on principle is right again and deserves support. Mr. Smith’s grand jury recently demanded that Mr. Pence appear to testify as a witness to the events surrounding Jan. 6. The subpoena looks like overkill, since it comes more than two years after the Capitol riot and related events that by now are well known.
