Former President Donald Trump’s legal defense team and prosecutors handling the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation are at federal courthouse in Washington, DC, Thursday morning in a secret dispute related to the unprecedented investigation.

CNN spotted the lawyers – including James Trusty, Evan Corcoran and Lindsey Halligan for Trump, and prosecutor Julie Edelstein and several others from the Justice Department who are known to be on the case – heading into a sealed proceeding before Chief Judge Beryl Howell at the federal courthouse on Thursday.

The hearing appears to still be ongoing and their appearance in Washington is notable because this legal team typically appears in court in Florida or New York on the documents investigation.

The development is the latest sign of prosecutors attempting to move their investigation forward into the handling of documents from the Trump presidency after he left office.

1. Amazing how the phrase, DOJ doesn't leak, has disappeared.

Hey, we know DOJ is investigating so people like me won't be asking, what is DOJ doing?

Corcoran should be before a grand jury, he wrote the document that Babb signed.

Court sessions, even if closed, are a matter of public record.
