Special counsel Jack Smith raised concerns Thursday that the attorney representing one of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the classified documents case may have a conflict of interest.
In a South Florida federal court filing, Mr. Smith said John Irving, an attorney representing Carlos De Oliveira, is also representing three witnesses prosecutors may call during the trial.
In the filing, Mr. Smith’s team said Mr. Irving “might be in the position of cross-examining current clients.” The filing does not identify the witnesses, but said they have “information demonstrating the falsity of statements De Oliveira has made to the government.”The same witness also “has information about De Oliveira’s loyalty to Trump and about De Oliveira’s involvement in the replacement of a lock — at the direction of Trump — on a closet inside Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago,” the prosecutors wrote.
