"Trump Attorney 1" is Robert Corcoran who was forced to testify to the grand jury and hand over notes memorializing conversations with his client, Trump. Abolishing bedrock principles of attorney-client privilege: another casualty of the principle of throwing Trump in prison

*Correction, the attorney's name is Evan Corcoran, not Robert Corcoran
