Trump aide Kash Patel granted immunity to testify over Mar-a-Lago documents

Washington, November 4 (RHC)-- U.S. Federal prosecutors have granted immunity to a close associate of former President Trump in exchange for his testimony.  

Kash Patel will appear before a federal grand jury to answer questions about Trump’s mishandling of classified documents, after the FBI recovered hundreds of records including many marked “Top Secret” when agents carried out a search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August.  Patel previously claimed Trump declassified the documents when he left the White House.

Meanwhile, top Republican strategists are expecting Attorney General Merrick Garland to pursue an indictment of former President Trump within 60 to 90 days after Election Day.  That’s according to the newspaper The Hill which reports an indictment would most likely be for Trump’s violations of the Espionage Act in connection with the Mar-a-Lago documents.
