The judge in Donald Trump's classified documents case is to consider whether prosecutors can use notes that allegedly show Trump tried to hide evidence.

Judge Aileen Cannon will consider a request by former President Donald Trump's lawyers to prevent prosecutors using notes taken by Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran.A Washington, D.C., judge previously ruled that prosecutor Jack Smith could use the notes under the crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege rule.That allows prosecutors to use evidence normally protected by attorney-client privilege if it helps prevent crime.

According to former federal prosecutor, Joyce Vance, 'Corcoran's notes include highly incriminating evidence of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump.'Writing in her Civil Discourse legal blog on Sunday, Vance said that the notes could be highly damaging to Trump's defense.
