Lawyer for Trump valet in Mar-a-Lago documents case alleges misconduct

Exclusive: The lawyer said in letter that prosecutors brought up his application to become judge when seeking valet's cooperation

The lawyer for Donald Trump's valet, under scrutiny in the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation, has submitted court papers describing a meeting at which a top federal prosecutor brought up his application to be a judge when they tried to gain the valet's cooperation last year, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The allegation, described in a letter filed under seal with the chief US judge in Washington, James Boasberg, could affect the investigation just as prosecutors are considering whether to bring charges.
