Even as he faces indictment in Manhattan, Trump has to watch his back on
the federal classified documents investigation. The recent courtroom
fight over Evan Corcoran's testimony “indicate[s] that prosecutors have
continued to build a case and that the inquiry remains a serious threat
to Mr. Trump,” per the NYT. Corcoran will testify again today, and the
Times reports that he doesn’t plan to plead the Fifth. The feds also
want to talk to Trump lawyer Jennifer Little in the probe.

The latest revelation: Trump lawyer Timothy Parlatore testified before a
grand jury in December in the documents probe, ABC’s Katherine Faulders
and Alex Mallin scooped. That came shortly after he told authorities
that Trump’s team had just found four more documents with classified
markings.

Meanwhile, in the federal Jan. 6 investigation, a judge heard arguments
yesterday over whether special counsel JACK SMITH can force former VP
Mike Pence to testify, CBS’ Robert Costa and Robert Legare report

And as Biden meets with Trudeau in Canada, the two countries have
reached a deal on immigration that will give each side the ability to
send back asylum-seekers who illegally crossed the border, the L.A.
Times’ Hamed Aleaziz and Erin Logan scooped from Ottawa.
