Trump Advisor Granted Immunity by DOJ in Mar-a-Lago Case

The Justice Department has granted immunity to Trump adviser Kash Patel after a judge ruled it was the only way to compel his grand jury testimony in the Mar-a-Lago case, a source familiar with the matter said.

Patel is expected to testify soon, the source said. The Justice Department has declined to comment.

The Wall Street Journal was first to report on the development.
