Tim Parlatore, a lawyer representing former President Donald Trump in the Justice Department’s investigation into his handling of classified documents, is stepping down from the role, according to multiple news reports. Parlatore testified in December before a grand jury looking into the classified documents found in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, over concerns that the former president still held on to more of those files. His December testimony came as the DOJ sought to have Trump held in contempt after he failed to comply with a subpoena for the return of all classified documents. AdvertisementEvan Corcoran, another lawyer for the former president, has also testified before the grand jury in the classified documents probe. FBI agents raided Trump’s Florida home in August, recovering more than 100 classified files.
