MIAMI—A second co-defendant in the classified documents case involving former President Donald Trump has asked that a hearing to determine possible conflicts of interest involving his attorney be sealed from the public record.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith asked Judge Aileen Cannon to hold what is known as a Garcia hearing concerning John S. Irving, an attorney for co-defendant Carlos De Oliveira, President Trump’s property manager at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Mr. Irving formerly represented three people who may be called as witnesses in the case.
