WASHINGTON — Kash Patel, a close associate of Donald Trump, the former president, is set to soon testify before a federal grand jury probing the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after receiving immunity for his information, people familiar with the matter said.
A federal judge recently decided the Justice Department couldn’t force Patel to testify without such protection against his statements being used against him in some future prosecution. That ruling, the people said, opens the door for Patel, who says Trump broadly declassified White House documents while still president, to answer questions.
