Justice Department prosecutors agreed to grant limited immunity from prosecution to Trump adviser Kash Patel to force him to testify in the Mar-a-Lago investigation, according to multiple reports.

Prosecutors investigating national security documents seized from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence granted immunity to Patel to compel his testimony in the case after he previously invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, The Guardian first reported. Patel is "set to soon testify" before a grand jury in D.C. after a federal judge ruled that the DOJ could not force Patel to testify without assurances that his statements would not be used against him, according to The Wall Street Journal, though he could still potentially be charged using information independent form his testimony or if he lies under oath.
