Prosecutors overseeing the federal criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified information have recently issued a subpoena to obtain information about foreign business dealings that Trump had since taking office in 2017. This includes records related to licensing and development deals in countries such as China, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.

While the Trump Organization did not engage in any new foreign deals while he was in office, Trump did make a deal with a Saudi-based real estate company for a project in Oman shortly before announcing his third presidential campaign last fall. The subpoena also seeks records dealing with his involvement with a golf league sponsored by the Saudis called LIV Golf which has held tournaments at some of his golf courses.

Last week it was reported that prosecutors have obtained notes taken by Trump attorney Evan Corcoran from last spring which suggest that the former president asked about pushing back on a subpoena to turn over classified materials he had in possession. Prosecutors feel that this is significant because it provides an idea of what may have been going through Trump’s mind when offering “shifting explanations” regarding why he didn’t return all of the classified material. This doesn’t sound like strong evidence to me.

This comes after a federal judge voided attorney-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer due to evidence suggesting that they were using each other to commit crimes. Additionally, the National Archives announced last week that it will be turning over 16 records this Wednesday which hold information on how Trump and his top advisers knew about the process to declassify info while he was president – unless blocked by court order.
